Zwane: ‘It was a wrong move to leave Sundowns'
The former defender began his career at Golden Arrows before making the dream move to Chloorkop. As is often the case with newcomers to the club, Zwane struggled to win a starting place. 'I stayed there for two and a half years,' Zwane said on Metro FM.
'The other part of the season, I went on loan to Ajax Cape Town. Mushin [Ertugrul] called me and said, 'I can see you're not playing. I'm going to Ajax; would you mind joining me there'?
'The regret came when I thought that, based on the way I had performed at Ajax, Sundowns would call me back. So, when they didn't call me back, that's when the regret kicked in that maybe it was a wrong move to leave Sundowns to join Ajax on loan,' Zwane added on the national radio show, as per FARPost .
'Normally, when a player goes on loan, their contract is frozen. However, when I went to Ajax, I thought I would return to Sundowns and finish my contract.
'But they said they didn't freeze my contract; therefore, my contract with them is over. I had to find a team after that.' WHAT DO YOU MAKE OF SIYANDA ZWANE'S STORY?

Pirates v Sundowns: Stage set for MTN8 semifinal showdown between old foes
Orlando Pirates coach Abdeslam Ouaddou is asking for efficiency from his players when they take on Mamelodi Sundowns in their anticipated MTN8 semifinal first leg at Orlando Stadium on Saturday (3pm). After three matches so far in all competitions, stuttering Pirates conceded three goals while they found the back of the net four times and Ouaddou wants them to be better in both boxes. 'In football you have to be efficient in both boxes, it is about scoring and not conceding,' he said as they prepared for Sundowns. 'I would not go deep here to explain my philosophy, but I will be happy to sit with you to explain. At the moment, we need to be efficient in both boxes because this is the reality. We are going to try to achieve that for the next coming games.' The Buccaneers are up against the Brazilians who have started the season positively with two wins and one draw where they impressively scored seven goals and conceded only one. Sundowns coach Miguel Cardoso said this match is special and his players must embrace the opportunity of writing their chapter in the story.

Confirmed: Kaizer Chiefs will sign another striker
Kaizer Chiefs have already boosted their attack with the arrival of Portuguese striker Flavio Silva, but the Naturena door isn't closing just yet. Another forward is on the way. The squad's already had a shake-up with new arrivals, but up front, the sharp edge is still missing. Last season's slip outside the top eight made one thing clear: goals are the currency, and Kaizer Chiefs need more of them. According to coach Nasreddine Nabi, Amakhosi will sign Etiosa Ighodaro or go for a plan B option.

If not, there are other strikers we're considering,' the Tunisian coach told the media.
