Abdeslam Ouaddou’s charges dropped points in their previous Betway Premiership clash against Siwelele FC (1-1) last time out which saw Mamelodi Sundowns leapfrog them into top spot after thrashing Marumo Gallants 3-1.
The two sides are separated by just two points and Ncikazi has called on the 12th man to back the boys.
“Nelspruit has always been a difficult environment for our team,” he told OP TV.
“But we have the responsibility to try get points from anywhere in the country.
“My personal plea on behalf of the group is the Buccaneers to unite against the team, support the team.
“We appreciate their support. Maybe, let us not allow the elements of division, elements of destruction to filter into our set-up in our institution.
“We appreciate the supporters, and these players, and the whole technical team is going to try and please our supporters as always.
“We are going to go there, fight, give our best.
“Based on the preparation, I’m confident that this team will make the supporters proud.”
