Arthur Zwane speaks about fan criticism at Chiefs

Zwane opens up about his time at Chiefs in the tweet below:

According to FARPost, Zwane accepted the criticism as part of the job, while playmaker Rowen Human offered his full support to the new Usuthu coaches.

Zwane said:

"It affected my kids because I've been in the game for many, many years. I had to make them aware of the situation and understand it. This is where your father is, and you've got to understand. It's either some of the things you stay away from them or you support. Because you love the game. When your father wins, you also celebrate."

Fans say Zwane must move on

Chiefs fans said on social media that Zwane should forget his time at Amakhosi and focus on his new job at AmaZulu.
