Nzama lead out a very different looking Amakhosi team against United at a rain soaked Loftus Stadium in Pretoria as the Amakhosi played out a commendable and exciting draw with Matsasantsa.

“ Cyril showed on Sunday that he is a true leader and a respected figure by the way he conducted himself on Sunday, also the way he was able to communicate with the guys and when we went a goal down he kept on motivating the other guys” said Ernst Middendorp.

The coach has further praised Nzama for his behaviour on the pitch and away from it; the coach continued further “when you put some one in a leadership role, he has to be a person who leads by example in all aspects of life. He must be hard working, socially stable and some one who his peers look up to and I firmly believe that Nzama possesses all of these qualities”.
