A former Kaizer Chiefs midfielder, whose side will be in the hat when the Nedbank Cup Last 32 draw takes place on Thursday, is already daydreaming about winning the competition.
Humphrey Mlwane, who used to do the donkey's work in the middle of the park for Chiefs back in the '90s, is currently head coach of The Bees, a Mpumalanga-based ABC Motsepe League side.

With the draw taking place in Sandton on Thursday, he hopes to avoid facing giants like Chiefs, Orlando Pirates, and Mamelodi Sundowns until at least the final.
"We prefer to play against other ABC Motsepe League teams at our home ground. With the sun reaching 45 degrees here, they won't survive," Mlwane told KickOff.com.
"Drawing Chiefs, Pirates, or Sundowns would be detrimental for us. Our goal is to reach the Last 16."
The Bees play their matches at kaMaqhekeza Stadium, and their squad consists of a mix of young and experienced players, some of whom have previously played in the PSL.
"We have players like Enocent Mkhabela and former Witbank Spurs and Black Leopards player Humphrey Khoza. We have plenty of experience. Everyone is receiving a salary, and our youngest player is 21 years old.
"The team is just two years old, and this is the first time we've reached this stage in the cup competitions. Our supporters are hoping for a match against one of the Big Three, but as the technical staff, we want to push all the way. We can't set limits on ourselves.
"Our primary goal was to qualify, and now that we've achieved that, we aim to make it to the last 16. This is the right platform for these boys to showcase their talent,"he continued.
Mlwane's charge are currently third in their league, with two games in hand and with only one point separating them from the league leaders.
"We've played 12 games without a loss," he boasts.

"I can envision myself lifting the Nedbank Cup trophy. Every coach aspires to win something. Being here today is an achievement in itself because we defeated all our peers.
"I believe playing against teams like Chiefs would be emotional for me. We're planning to bring in a psychologist to help ensure the players remain calm."
