@DanielMohlala12:
"Why did he bench jele and Mhango. He saw that playing without a striker didn't work for us last season but he keeps on playing without a striker. Hotto is not a scoring machine he proved that last season. "
@Ntlakanipho_Xul:
"Zinnbauer must leave in peace before the season even commences. He doesn’t have Plan B and C even A for that matter Angry face he can’t even explain his defeats. Ngeke ayikhale!! #JZOut"
@MandlaJiyana_:
"This plumber must be sacked ASAP... or else we gonna have a terrible season #JZOut"
@ndusibeko7:
"#JZOut was supposed to be fired 3 games after the MTN 8 fluke win last season.
They called us plastic fans, buka manje."
Very humble, good personality, handsome, but very less football knowledge
Junior Khanye does not think Zinnbauer is a very good coach and summed it up by saying he looks good but doesn't know much.
