"For me, it's just to thank them. We've been through tough games and we had that belief that we'll do it.

"I also want to thank the technical team, coach Ashraf Hendricks, coach Rowen Fernandez, our conditioning guys – Michael, Amo. Our medical team, Alex, everybody. Our kit manager Zola, our logistics manager Manzini. All of them.

"Mamzo at the training grounds, our ground man Lunga, everyone contributed.

"I know our Chairman, GM, they will thank the other partners because they also supported us through this journey, word of encouragement, resources being injected in this project.

"But, at the end of the day, we wouldn't have made it if our supporters were not here.

“I'm looking there [at the supporters in the stands], I feel like I'm in Chatsworth Stadium.”
