'We know the task, and the task is to win the game (against Chippa) and continue with our journey. There's nothing that we're letting go because we know the importance of winning the game,' said Onyango, who is chasing a 12th league winner's medal in South African football.
'For us, it's about winning the game and staying positive by taking anything for granted. We're looking at winning … because we're also building up to the final of the CAF Champions League.
'Having the momentum'
'The more we win, the more confident we'll go into that final so we're not looking at people who are behind us. We're looking at our own challenge and the challenge at the moment is Chippa United. We're focused on … having the momentum going into the Champions League final.'
