Tapuwa Kapini is confident that AmaZulu can lift themselves off the foot of the Premier Soccer League table to safety, but only if they take it one game at a time.

Speaking ahead of his side's crucial clash with Black Leopards at the Peter Mokaba Stadium on Wednesday, the goalkeeper insisted Usuthu must remain calm if they are to avoid relegation.
The club currently sits bottom of the standings with just two wins from 12 games, although they are only one point away from both Mamelodi Sundowns and Chippa United, and just one win away from overtaking struggling Ajax Cape Town.
The former Highlanders FC and Platinum Stars stopper told the club's official website: "We have to take it one game at a time.
"We are deep down there but now is the time to be calm and not let the challenge that we are facing overwhelm us.
"We need to try and take three points in each game that we play. But it's going to be difficult because when you are at the bottom everyone knows that you are hungry for points and they come with more intensity.
"We'll go into every game knowing that where we are is not a good position to be in before the Christmas break."
This match will see Craig Rosslee take charge of Amaqhawe for the first time, with Kapini adding that Lidoda Duvha will be no walkovers as they too look to improve on their league position.
Leopards are in ninth place with 15 points from 12 games, and just two points adrift of Tuks in fifth.
Kapini added: "Leopards are not a bad side, they are hardworking guys so it's going to be very difficult to play against them.
"They are also in need of points, especially playing at home, so as AmaZulu we're going there knowing that we'll face a team that is also trying to move up the table, but we'll do our best to win the game."
