Things can change fast in football! Such was the case for Orlando Pirates striker Terrence Dzvukamanja.

At the halfway mark of the campaign, the Zimbabwean was an almost certain exit from the club due to limited playing opportunities!

When he did eventually get his chance, Dzvukamanja rose to demands of the club and scored crucial goals when in mattered most.

His incredible end to the season has completely changed his situation at the club!

Dzvukamanja scored eight goals and registered two assists in just 11 starts for the club!

Orlando Pirates to extend Dzvukamanja’s contact?

“Terrence’s contract is about to be extended. He has worked very hard to be where he is at the moment. His play has improved dramatically.” an insider told Citizen.

“He is a very different player now. When he started things were not really going well for him, that is why a lot of people didn’t like him.

“Orlando Pictures fans were even against him, but things have changed now. He is one of the players who is loved by the supporters.

“The negotiations have been going on for some time because there were a lot of factors that had to be considered.

“But, he is now staying and it’s not about him being done favours. He has worked so much to be where he is.”

“Very disappointed, I think he’s also disappointed that he did not get game time. I’m open to talks if they (Kaizer Chiefs) want to send him out, I’m willing to take him.” – Swallows FC chairman David Mogashoa told SoccerLaduma.

“He did very well at Swallows. I always say to people the pressure at Swallows is not the same pressure at Chiefs. You can be a very good player at Swallows and be a bad player at Chiefs.”
