The former Warriors captain told Chronicle Sport: "Today is a beautiful day, everybody is happy and these are the results of hard work from the technical staff, players and our supporters who came in numbers today to make this victory possible as they were the team's 12th man.
"We deserved to be crowned as we are a quality side and we maintained our performance throughout the season even though there were some rough patches," said Ndlovu.
