According to KickOff, Zwane said AmaZulu's defenders were sloppy while rival coach Lehlohonolo Seema was backed by Sekhukhune’s management.
Zwane said:
“It is one thing that we need to work on, look at the goals we conceded [against Sekhukhune]; very sloppy defending. I’m the one person that usually protects players, but we cannot carry on like this. We cannot concede goals like this and expect to be the better team. We take responsibility as coaches but the players need to come to the party.”
AmaZulu confirmed their defeat on Twitter (X):
AmaZulu aim to climb the PSL log
AmaZulu’s defeat was their first in four PSL matches while co-coach Vilakazi blamed referees for their Nedbank Cup exit on Saturday, 15 February 2025, to Marumo Gallants.
The 1-0 defeat to Marumo Gallants ended Usuthu’s run in the Nedbank Cup as they bowed out in the last 16.
Zwane will hope his side can improve their defence in time to face 15th-placed side Magesi FC on Saturday, 22 February.

Fans give AmaZulu advice
Local football fans reacted on social media to say AmaZulu should consider changing their approach of using co-coaches.

“This co-coaching thing doesn't work.”

“Come on; he beat Kaizer Chiefs now he can't beat Sekhukhune United.”

“Co-coaching isn't working.”

“Ofori.”
Mofokeng Wa Phokeng gave Zwane some advice:
“If he could control his emotions towards players, he could reach heights.”
