Kaizer Chiefs’ Struggling PSL Form Has Led to Limited Game Time for Midfielder Samkelo Zwane

• Promising Kaizer Chiefs midfielder Samkelo Zwane is looking for more game time after only seven appearances this season
• The player’s agent, Mike Makaab, says Chiefs are hesitant to play Zwane as they are currently struggling for form in the PSL
• Fans admire the 22-year-old and are hoping the new Kaizer Chiefs coach will make better use of the talented midfielder

22-year-old midfielder Samkelo Zwane has had little time to show his skills this season as his appearances have been limited.

His agent, Mike Makaab, says Chief's struggling form has made it difficult for them to take a chance with Zwane, who has been tipped for success by former winger Junior Khanye.

Speaking to Soccer Laduma, Makaab said the issue of Zwane's limited game time has been discussed between the player and the club.

Makaab said:

"I don’t think it’s a matter of the coach. I think it’s because the team is struggling to get any sort of consistency. It’s difficult to blame the technical staff for not wanting to play young players.”

Zwane is not the only youngster waiting for more game time at the Amakhosi after teen winger Mfundo Vilakazi recently signed a senior contract.

Fans admire Zwane

Despite his limited playing time this season, the talented Zwane has earned the admiration of the Amakhosi faithful.

Lindile KaPhumelele Tshangisa Stuurman is a fan:

"This boy is better than most of our central midfielders; he blossomed very well until Ntseki came. Arthur Zwane was not giving him preferential treatment. The boy is quality."
