Nabi joined the Betway Premiership club this season and after a shaky start, the Tunisian coach has steered his team to fourth place on the league standings after 17 games.
They most overcame Stellenbosch 1-0 in a hard-fought league win on Friday night with new signing Makabi Lilepo netting the only goal of the game at Athlone Stadium on four minutes.
Nabi has been steadily improving his side, and made a few astute signings this January, including Lilepo, Tashreeq Morris and Thabo Cele.
Motaung explained on SuperSport that Chiefs are on a "long journey".
He said: "To build takes time, it won't be an overnight success and the league is not over yet.
"It's a long journey ahead, but it is for these people [supporters]. They must enjoy because they travelled long distances from Johannesburg, Mpumalanga and Durban. They are here for fun and they must enjoy it."
Motaung added: "We are not there yet, but we are cooking. We trust the process and need patience sometimes." Amakhosi signed players like Lilepo, who has showed some good glimpses, Thabo Cele and Tashreeq Morris and Motaung asked for patience.
“Let's see how they go, it's still early days but there is a reason he signed them. Quality is what we wanted and you know this jersey is heavy.”
