"Lol, Lorch is not even the best player at Pirates."

@TekoDiaby commented:

"Comparing Mshishi to Lorch is disrespectful to Mshishi....that sh*t is offensive. Put some respect on Zwane's name, hayibo!"

@Thusi72144321 said:

"At least Lorch can still contribute to our national team, the other one is just a small-time one team hero."

@Mihle_Msengeni commented:

"You need sjambok for comparing Mshishi to Lorch. What disrespect to Zwane."

@doctor_zungu said:

"Zwane is currently the best player in PSL to me. He never loses possession, he makes a good run in spaces to create a goal-scoring opportunity for himself and others. He's smart. But let's not forget that every coach has his style of play."
