Former Orlando Pirates midfielder Benedict Tso Vilakazi says he’s pleased for Kaizer Chiefs striker Khanyisa Mayo finally scoring his second league goal of the season, saying it was important for the player’s confidence.
Mayo was a second half substitute for Chiefs at Peter Mokaba Stadium on Wednesday and scored the fourth goal in their 4-1 victory over the relegation threated Dikwena, to also complete five victories on the trot.

This was Mayo’s second game coming off the bench and his ninth in the league this season having struggled with injuries since his arrival on loan from CR Belouizdad at the start of this season. Tso congratulated the 27 year old saying every striker needs confidence boosting goals.
“Well done to Mayo, he’s been long looking for that goal,” said Tso on iDiski TV.
“I hope it’s going to give him that confidence to say to himself, I can do it. A player like him we saw him when he was playing for Cape Town City and he went to Algeria.
“He did very well also there and then he got injured and came to Chiefs. He was struggling, but hopefully this goal is going to at least bring something out of him.
“To have confidence is very important. You know, when you’ve got confidence, you can do anything at any given time, but when you don’t have confidence, now everything goes to the head. You are in a hurry you want to prove a point and the more you want to prove a point, it’s when you’re going to make lot of mistakes.
“That’s why I’m saying I’m happy he scored a goal because the first ball, if he had that confidence, that we all know that was a goal. We know for him, he was going to do the basic stuff, trap it with the right, put it there with the left, done.”
