Paseka Mako eyes trophies at Kaizer Chiefs, not the past

Paseka Mako eyes trophies at Kaizer Chiefs, not the past

The 31-year-old made the switch across the Soweto divide at the start of the current season, signing a three-year deal with Amakhosi after several years with the Buccaneers.

Mako admitted that leaving his former club was not easy, but stressed that his full attention is now on helping Chiefs move forward.

"What I can say is that it was tough to leave the other side and come to this side," Mako told the media this week.

"But now my focus is here at Kaizer Chiefs. I don't want to look at the past. My main focus is to help this team move forward and lift trophies."

The experienced defender added that the transition has been smooth, given the stature of both clubs.

"I'm professional enough to know that I played for a big team and joined another big team," he added.

"In terms of adjusting, nothing has really changed. I'm still the same person I was at my previous club."

Mako was an unused substitute as Chiefs resumed their Betway Premiership campaign with a narrow 1-0 victory over Golden Arrows at FNB Stadium on Tuesday night.

The win lifted the Glamour Boys to third place on the standings, with 27 points from 14 matches.

Chiefs will now shift their focus to continental action, as they travel to Zambia to face Zesco United in a CAF Confederation Cup Group D clash on Sunday.
