Kaze explained that constant communication with Nabi ensures the head coach's influence is felt daily. More importantly, he said, Nabi's trust in his technical staff has been vital to the club's recent form, which has seen the club record two consecutive wins.
"We are always in contact with the head coach. But he trusts our experience and knowledge," Kaze said.
"We're on the field every day, feeling the vibe, seeing what's happening in training, and understanding which player combinations work best. He trusts us to make the line-up, but as head coach, he's informed daily."
Kaze and fellow assistant Ben Youssef have been hands-on in training sessions, ensuring the squad maintains high standards and cohesion in Nabi's absence.
Despite not being physically present on the sideline, Kaze stressed that Nabi still sets the team's technical direction.
"The technical staff is led by coach Nabi. It doesn't matter who's standing on the line - what matters is that Kaizer Chiefs is winning. That's the most important thing," he concluded.
