According to SowetanLIVE, she said:

“The past season had been exciting, amazing... seeing our players finish in the top three and that was not what I expected. I’m looking forward to going to Africa. It is a new challenge. It was a challenge for me to get into the PSL. Now I have another challenge going to Africa and I’m looking forward to it. It has been an amazing season.”

In order to maintain a challenge at home and aboard, the club will need to strengthen considerably, with former Kaizer Chiefs striker Samir Nurkovic already being linked with a move to Durban, as per Goal.

Mkhize added:

“We must have two clubs because what we noticed is that towards the end of the season, we only had one defender due to injuries. So we learned from that and we said we must increase the squad so that they are not drained. So wait for my [media] conference on the 28th [of June] where we will announce new players and the new coach.”
