Kaizer Chiefs assistant coach Shaun Bartlett has come out in defence of hard-tackling midfielder Willard Katsande, saying the Zimbabwe international is one of their key figures.
Despite many left to believe that the Amakhosi skipper is just a physical player with no discipline, the former Bafana Bafana striker explained ‘Salt and Vinegar’s’ role in the team, and praised him for being a "core" player.
The former Ajax Cape Town enforcer was also commended for his ability to cover the defensive line and for his leadership qualities.

“Katsande is a leader, he is a core player, he is one of the most experienced players we have in the squad,” said Bartlett as quoted by FARPost.
