A former Mamelodi Sundowns star has explained why South African international Themba Zwane is a special talent, and why it would be difficult to replace him.
legend Teko Modise shared his thoughts on the incredible talent of Themba Zwane as he nears a return from injury.The Sundowns star is close to returning from injury and could help the Brazilians in the latter part of the season.In an interview with iDiskiTimes, Modise explained Zwane's talent is rare and why he's untouchable.“Themba has an exceptional ability to read the game in ways that only he can.
Modise named some of the players who could replace Themba but warned against seeing those players the same way as the veteran. “The real question now is who will step up to carry on the legacy and ensure that the magic continues in Mshishi’s absence,” Modise added. “We’ve seen players like Modiba and Mokwena showing potential. I’ve watched Mkhulise trying to step into that role, and Teboho has also been taking on that responsibility. Lucas Ribeiro is starting to excite us as well, and he could be one to take the mantle at Sundowns.
“However, it’s about consistency. And for me, no one has quite reached Mshishi’s level. We tend to compare everyone to him, which isn’t always fair because each player is different.“We’re a bit selfish when it comes to Mshishi because of the joy he brings to us—we just want to keep seeing him play.”Raphael Abiola is a Nigerian Sports Journalist with over seven years of experience.
