“He kind of reminds me of Andile Jali, although Jali is obviously better and more experienced,” said Khanye on iDiskiTV.

“I think Kaizer Chiefs have to understand that Zwane is not a defensive midfielder. He is not strong in defence but can help the team going forward.”

“He knows how to hit a forward pass. His energy reminds me of Jali when he arrived at Pirates [in 2009]. Well, he will never be in that class but he’s got potential to become one of the best,” added Khanye.
