Southern Eye Sport spoke to the former Highlanders and Warriors legend from the Botswana base on how he rates his chances.
“It is still very tight because anything can happen now. It is still a marathon because it will go to the wire. We are leading with a three point advantage, but we have to remain focused because the other teams are also fighting.
“We were supposed to play at Lobatse which is 70km away from Gaborone, but we are now going to play in Phikwe which is 400km from Gaborone. Gunners were banned from playing at Lobatse following crowd trouble that rocked their game against the team coached by Rahman Gumbo (Gaborone United). So now we have to travel a longer distance,” he said.
Ndlovu said they would face the biggest challenge against Gunners and Miscellaneous — a team fighting for survival.
