It will be a positive sign that a club thats fallen so far behind the likes of Sundowns and Pirates over the years are finally on the right track to reclaiming their glory days.
Winning a trophy will also serve as validation to the players that they should trust the process under Nabi. Beating Sundowns will no doubt serve as extra motivation for the players to go on and pick up as many points as possible from the 18 that are available in the league.
Its not just about silverware its about belief. A Nedbank Cup triumph would mark the beginning of a new era at Naturena, one built on resilience, renewed ambition, and the return of a winning mentality. It would give the fans something tangible to celebrate after years of frustration, and it would give the players and coaching staff a powerful reminder that progress is being made.
