And that’s according to Kaizer Chiefs and Bafana Bafana legend Doctor Khumalo who said Zwane is exactly the kind of a player the national team needs.

Zwane has been talk of the town with his mesmerising performances for both Sundowns and Bafana Bafana, and he was again brilliant against Mozambique on Thursday.

Zwane provided an assist in style as Bafana Bafana striker Bongokuhle Hlongwane completed his brace in the 2-1 win over Mozambique.

Now, Khumalo said Zwane reminds him of Jomo Sono around 1978, and also Shoes Moshoeu during their era when Clive Barker was the Bafana Bafana coach.

“In the second half when they came back, it means the one that had the key to lock Themba lost it because Mshishi came back and mesmerised them, and that’s when South Africa started to play,” said Khumalo on SABC Sport.

“Because the culture of South Africa, there is no way that you won’t have a person like Themba from the start [of the game]. I’m not talking about the era of 1992. I’m talking about 1978, the era of Jomo Sono. A player like Mshishi is very key in our national team,” he continued.

“He combined very well with Hlongwane. Clive Barker used to say ‘get Shoes and Doctor to dance’, and this is what Mshishi did [against Mozambique],” added Khumalo.
