After a single victory during last year’s FNB Varsity Shield competition, FNB UKZN captain Tino Mazhindu has called for focus from his team ahead of a big 2024 season.
Speaking to Varsity Shield, Mazhindu says his team considers last year’s campaign as water under the bridge and that they are now focused on the season ahead.
“Last year’s season wasn’t ideal, but it taught us valuable lessons as individuals and as a team. It’s a new year now with new challenges and our focus is on the season ahead. We have put in a lot of time and work into our preparations, not only on the field but off the field as well by creating a brotherhood environment which has led to us building improved connections when playing.”
Mazhindu has called for the Impi supporters to create a winning atmosphere at home in Durban, a venue once considered difficult to play at for visiting teams.
“We want to extend a heartfelt message to all our supporters and the UKZN community, especially with the upcoming home games. Your cheers from the sidelines truly lift our spirits. We invite you to come out in full force and rally behind us. Let's show the world what the UKZN IMPIs are made of.”
