Mdaka insists Gallants are not yet safe from relegation despite win at Chippa

"Not yet because there is a team that will go for playoffs, we would like to see ourselves out of this situation all together," Mdaka told the media after the match.

"It is not that difficult. It will depend on whether we are collecting points or not because once we get another three points, you will see how far we go and then from there that's where we will say, let's keep the same character and the same spirit ... we can even go beyond eighth or so.

"The only challenge that we might have is how you maintain the recoveries, how you manage the players because we are playing back-to-back.

"But the most important thing is how you manage the players, how you manage the recoveries because you need the very same kind of players who have just played."

Mdaka was full of praise for Chivaviro following his hat trick. "These are the kind of players when you have them upfront there you always believe that at any given moment you can get a goal.
