The two midfielders will not be sent out on loan as the 60-year-old mentor believes they have a role to play in his team
Happy Mashiane and Nkosingiphile Ngcobo will not be leaving Kaizer Chiefs in the near future, according to coach Ernst Middendorp.
The two academy graduates were promoted to the first team not so long ago but have had to deal with injuries that hampered their progress.
However, Middendorp is willing to give them enough time to prove their mettle by keeping in his team for the foreseeable future unlike Itumeleng Shopane, Given Thibedi and Ayanda Rorwana who were loaned out to Swallows FC at the start of the season to gain experience.
