On Saturday, Zwane will lead Amakhosi for the time in a Soweto derby when Chiefs takes on Orlando Pirates at FNB Stadium.
In explaining the way it feels to be half of this fixture as a participant and now as a coach, Zwane says this clash offers one goosebumps.
“It gives you goosebumps, you know the history of the two giants when they meet, everything comes to a standstill in the country. I for one being there as a player and now as a coach, it is a privilege. But also knowing very well the responsibility on our shoulders to go out there and obviously give our best. Also to make sure that we make the people who have been supporting us through thick and thin happy,” mentioned Zwane.
“It is hard to single out one (a memorable derby as a player), there are just too many. Some we won, some we drew and some we lost. What was key as an individual was to go out there, showcase your talent and show people what you’re made of. As you know the history of this game, it is always hyped up because of the number of people that will be coming to the stadium as well as people who will be watching on television. That alone tells you how important this game is in the country.”
Chiefs go into Saturday’s clash as underdogs after they had been knocked out of the MTN8 by AmaZulu final weekend, whereas Pirates are on a excessive after reaching the ultimate following their 3-0 win over Mamelodi Sundowns.
