But it was a certain performance in midfield that left coach Zwane itching for the next game and next season: Sabelo Radebe impact alongside Nkosingiphile Ngcobo as double eights.

Following  Zwane’s call for ball domination and arrogance in attack – as per Kaizer Chiefs tradition – the 22-year-old Radebe aka Bibo stood out. 

“What I’m happy about is seeing Sabelo Radebe fighting and fit in so well,” Zwane, who hails from Meadowlands, Soweto said.

“I’m happy for him. Hopefully, he’ll start enjoying himself because he is one player that is very, very good on the ball.

NOT FORGETTING RAMAHLWE MPHAHLELE AND SIYABONGA NGEZANA

Zwane, who was fondly known as ‘10111’ during his days as a goalscoring and assisting right-winger, also took the moment to appreciate Mphahlele and Ngezana in defence.

“Rama as well, he led the team very well at the back and guiding Siya [Ngezana] as well,” Zwane said.

Siya started very, very slow but during the game the confidence got better and I’m just happy for them and let’s hope we take this to the next game,” he concluded.

Meanwhile, Kaizer Chiefs return to training on Monday to prepare for the final game of the season. 

Amakhosi will be at home to Swallows FC, a team that will survive or suffer relegation on the day, while Zwane’s side may secure a CAF Champions League spot on goal difference.
