His discipline is second to none and he will now be working with the first team Technical Team and Development until the end of the season. Zwane follows on the footsteps of other players like Ace Khuse, Ntsie Maphike, Doctor Khumalo and many others who joined the coaching department after years of service for the Club. We are committed in supporting him to get coaching qualifications like we have done with the others,” added Motaung.

I am looking forward in starting a new chapter in my life and I welcome the challenge with both hands,” said the 36-year-old Zwane.
