“Pre-season for me, so far has been good, because I am someone who likes to work and here we work hard. We train three times a day, in the morning we are running, during the day we go to the gym, and in the afternoon we go to the field,” Vilakazi told Supersport TV.
“I keep myself motivated by telling myself that at home they are relying on me, and if I give up, I will be disappointing my parents.”
