Mosimane, who recently received an honorary doctorate from the University of Technology, took to his Twitter (X) account to show his appreciation for Zwane.

Mosimane said:

“No arguments with the coaches, but has an opinion. He keeps the dressing room quiet and focused, exhibits unselfish behaviour and cares about the team. Does not like anybody who dims his light. Always laughing but an introvert.”

Zwane is a leader

Mosimane added that the 34-year-old Zwane is an essential member of the Bafana team and fans should appreciate his abilities.

“You have to give him respect and appreciate his talent. Just tell him to dance and ski on the pitch and sit back. You will enjoy it. Leader!”
