Senzo Meyiwa has declared he is on a mission for greater consistency.

Meyiwa who dished out a Man of the Match performance in the Soweto Derby against Kaizer Chiefs over the weekend, revealed at training this morning that he will strive to be more consistent in the remaining league matches.

Prior to the clash against Chiefs, the KwaZulu Natal born goal-minder came under a lot of criticism, after conceding eight goals in the three matches against Maluti FET College (four), Moroka Swallows (three) and Bloemfontein Celtic (one). However, in the recent clash against the perennial rivals Amakhosi, Meyiwa dished out a superlative display to ensure that the Mighty Buccaneers remain five points behind the leaders.

“It is not going to be easy,” said Meyiwa, referring to the race for the league title. “We have a number of tricky encounters left and all the teams are desperate for the three points.

“As a keeper it is very important to be consistent because often, that is the difference between winning and losing titles. Hence I have doubled my efforts in training to ensure that I am ready when called upon.

“I’m currently starting our matches but that doesn’t mean I can relax. There is a lot of competition from Brighton (Mhlongo) who is working very hard at training to get his chance. Furthermore, the fact that Moeneeb (Josephs) is back training, is another motivation for me to remain focused.”

Regarding his clean sheet in the match against Chiefs, Meyiwa complemented his back four and said it was a team effort.

“Awards are great,” he said. “The Man of the Match award I received will go a long way to motivate me to continue doing well but this award could not have been achieved had it not been for the four guys playing in front of me. This is much there award as it is mine. Hopefully this can be the start of something great…..after all, a team that keeps clean sheets doesn’t lose matches.”
