Ex-Pirates and Sundowns star Mhlongo said Bucs are in a building phase under new caretaker coaches Mandla Ncikazi and Fadlu Davids. He said while the pair have started with two draws followed by two wins - the last of those a 3-1 away against Chippa United - Bucs might need a strategic approach where two points taken off four-time successive champions Sundowns might be considered a form of victory.
“It's a strategic game where they have to say, 'Do we take three points, or take a draw, and then move forward?'”
