The Francistown side lead the FNB Premiership by two points with 12 games played. Quizzed on the secret behind TAFIC's stellar run, Chinyemba said: “I think we have young hungry players. Most of these players came last season and did not have much game time since it was their first season in the Premier League. Now they are familiar with the league that is why most of them have improved a lot. We also bought young players from the lower divisions who are also hungry to make names for themselves.”
Chinyemba, whose team has 28 points, said he is not worried about tricky fixtures against local powerhouses Jwaneng Galaxy and Gaborone United (GU) who are seen as potential title contenders. “We worry about the performance of the team and not the results. If you put in a good performance, definitely the results will come,” Chinyemba said. Some, if not most TAFIC supporters, are optimistic that Matjimenyenga Boys, has a chance of winning the league if it maintains the same tempo for the rest of the season. “Our mandate from the team management at the beginning of the season was that the team should maintain its premiership status at the end of the season. We are only three points from achieving that. After attaining 31 points, probably the team management will come to us and set new targets,” the coach said.
