Zulu has asked his teammates to go into their match with Dikwena on Sunday with their heads held high.
The Nedbank Cup is the last trophy that Amakhosi have a chance to win after Mamelodi Sundowns extended their lead at the top of the league table.
“Ja, it will impact us negatively if we go into the next game with our heads down. We need the win to boost our self-confidence and just to keep going,” said Zulu.
“Because going into the semi-final, a win [over Platinum Stars] will give us the necessary confidence to believe that we can go all the way and win the Nedbank Cup.”
