Kaizer Chiefs midfielder Ndlovu has described the emotions of making his Amakhosi debut against Stellenbosch FC, admitting that while nerves were natural, he leaned on his calm nature to enjoy the moment.
The new signing came off the bench in Kaizer Chiefs’ 2-0 win over Stellies and said the occasion could have felt overwhelming, but he reminded himself to stay composed.
The same game featured fellow debutants Thabiso Monyane and the exciting young striker Naledi Hlongwane.

“Obviously, there are some nerves, but generally I am a very calm person by nature,” Ndlovu told the club’s website. “When I was called to come on, I thought, ‘Okay, this is pressure. What do you do under pressure? You stay calm.’

“The people I have around me play a big role in keeping me calm, which I really appreciate. As a footballer, you want to play in front of big crowds, so I embrace the massive support this Club has and I am happy to go out and play my best football.
“I don’t have to prove myself to anybody; I just want to enjoy my football and serve the Club with honesty and give everything I have to the cause,” the new Kaizer Chiefs jersey number eight concluded.
