‘He can’t be replaced,’ Sundowns’ Mokwena on Zwane

"It will be another 10 or 15 years until we have a player like him," says Mokwena.Sundowns coach Mokwena reacts to Champions League draw

It’s a closed debate that Bafana Bafana struggle without Zwane and Hugo Broos has in the past admitted that he’s looking for his replacement in the team. The Belgian has identified 25-year-old Orlando Pirates midfielder Patrick Maswanganyi who’s currently in red-hot form as a possible solution to the ‘Zwane conundrum’ in the national set-up.“We can’t replace him. One of the greats of South African football who happens to be a family member always says to me that your biggest mistake is putting Themba Zwane on the bench,”“Everytime Sundowns doesn’t play well, I always get that message from him.

Mokwena believes Zwane’s selfless nature is what also puts him head and shoulders above his peers. The Tembisa-born midfielder has been used sparingly this season to manage the workload in what was always going to be a grueling schedule with Sundowns playing a juggling act between domestic and Caf commitments.
