Erstwhile dribbling wizard Jabu Mahlangu has revealed a message from two Kaizer Chiefs midfielders before their Nedbank Cup victory over Mamelodi Sundowns on Sunday.
Chiefs progressed to their first cup final since 2015, ironically against Sundowns in the Telkom Knockout, whom they beat 2-1 at Loftus Versfeld Stadium this time around.

The goals came from Wandile Duba and Ashley Du Preez in the second half, after Teboho Mokoena had put the hosts ahead in the first half.
Reviewing the match on SABC Sport, Mahlangu said he was impressed by the Soweto giants' charges and their desire to win on the day, revealing a brief conversation with two of their stars just days before the match.
"I had the privilege to be with Thabo Cele and Sibongiseni Mthethwa on Tuesday. I was shooting something for the club," revealed 'Shuffle'.
"These boys told that: 'Ey grootman, for this Sundowns game, we are going to fight. We are going to fight with everything we have'.
"And to see that Chiefs was serious and determined, when this boy (Wandile Duba) scored, he fetches the ball from the net and said: 'Let's go get another one!'," he added.
