It has been confirmed to the Siya crew that a Mamelodi Sundowns midfielder, who recently extended his contract with the club, has signed a three-year contract. As reported, Themba Zwane is on a new three-year deal with the Chloorkop outfit.
‘Mshishi’, as the player is known in football circles, is one of the four players whose contract extensions were confirmed by Downs in December.
The other players whose deals have been extended, as confirmed by the club last month, are Kennedy Mweene, Motjeka Madisha and Siyanda Zwane. The Siya crew has been informed that there is no option for further extension in Mshishi’s latest contract.
“Zwane’s deal is done and dusted. It’s a three-year deal no options,” said the source. he player’s original contract with Downs, when he joined them from lower-division club Vardos in 2011, was a four-year deal.
Themba Zwane and Kaizer Chiefs
Former Mamelodi Sundowns and Kaizer Chiefs star, Fabian McCarthy, expressed doubts that Themba Zwane may leave Chloorkop for Naturena due to uncertainty over Steve Komphela’s future, as well as his own ambitions.The 28-year-old has been linked with a move away from Sundowns as he is nearing the last six months of his deal and reportedly could be tempted to move to the Glamour Boys on an improved deal.
McCarthy, who moved from Downs to Amakhosi during his playing days which ended in 2011, believes a switch for Zwane from the Brazilians to their fierce rivals appears unlikely due to doubts about Komphela being in charge next season, while his current side can also offer CAF Champions League football.
He told the publication, “To be honest with you, he is a good player and obviously with the way things are going at Chiefs these days, who knows if Coach Steve Komphela will still stay on at Kaizer Chiefs next year. So if he makes that decision to join Chiefs and the coach leaves, then what?”
“But now, it is a bit tricky if you don’t know who is going to be the coach. Obviously, he wants to play at the highest level and play again in the (CAF) Champions League with a team that is hungry and wants to be successful.
“So, it is going to be a decision that he must not rush to because he is still at Sundowns and the coach is still using him. I mean, if he wants to follow Ramahlwe Mphahlele, then it will probably be good for him in away.”

Themba Zwane Interview
Interviewer: You have played a number of roles across the midfield, which position do you prefer and why?
Themba Zwane: I prefer to play behind a striker, no 10 positions. I can play wherever the coach needs me but if I had to choose 1 position it would be at 10.
Interviewer: What qualities make a great attacking midfielder?
Themba Zwane: Ability to pass and provide your teammates with goal-scoring opportunities. And now and then adding a goal to your skillset.
Interviewer: What is the best piece of trickery/skill you have “borrowed” from another player – either local or global?
Themba Zwane: I enjoy watching Cesc Fabregas, I learn a lot from him. His ability to always find space on the pitch is impressive. It is not easy in this modern game that has gotten so physical to always have time on the ball. From Cesc, I learn how to move into space at the right time.
Interviewer: Does the modern tactic of needing to press in on the oppositions half mean you need to adapt your game and be fitter than ever to get through 90 minutes – can we expect to see forward players being subbed more often nowadays to keep them fresh throughout the season?
Themba Zwane: The modern game has gotten more physical and players are stronger and faster but the team that can keep the ball and use it wisely still dictates. Not to take away from the fact that teams need to be fitter and faster etc but 8 out of 10 times the team that has better technical and tactical qualities will come out on top.
Interviewer: Sundowns are riding a wave of success winning the league, taking on and beating the best teams in Africa. You have been part of this African adventure – what are the secrets to this success?
Themba Zwane: At this level attention to detail is key. We have watched so many videos and made the analysis of our opponents so that on match day we know them inside out. We have also gotten stronger as a team, and that camaraderie has been our biggest strength.
Interviewer: Winning the African Champions League must be the highlight of your career – any special moments from that adventure you would like to share?
Themba Zwane: Without a doubt, my biggest highlight to date, is being able to call myself an African Champion. It is not every day that you get to do this. After the semi-final win we started believing that winning the trophy was possible. Even though we had great respect for Zamalek and all that they had achieved, we really believed this was our time. To play in Egypt in front of such passionate fans is unexplainable, I cannot put it into words. It was a dream come true to reach and win the final of a CAF Champions League.
Interviewer: What are your ambitions for 2017?
Themba Zwane: To help the team retain our PSL title and to attempt to go deep into the CAF champions league again. Personally, I would like to push for a national team recall.
Interviewer: Do you have ambitions to play for Bafana, World Cup dreams?
Themba Zwane: Yes, it would be a dream come true to play in Russia 2018, the biggest stage in football. I will work daily to achieve it.
Interviewer: Is there a long term dream of playing overseas and if so which league and why?
Themba Zwane: Yes, playing overseas is a dream every ambitious player should have. English league fascinates me because of the different cultures and nationalities plying their trade there. My favourite team is Arsenal because they play football in a way that excites me.
Interviewer: Do you have a motto you live by?
Themba Zwane: Not particularly, I just take each day as it comes and tries to improve and enjoy myself the best I can.
Interviewer: What is the best football or life advice you have ever gotten?
Themba Zwane: Nothing really stands out, however, if I have to give youngsters any advice, I would encourage them to never fear to be themselves. Everyone wants to fit in with the crowd, so rather be you, be different and be the best version of yourself.
Interviewer: What are your thoughts on the new PUMA Sundowns kit – which of the two (Home and Away) is your favourite and why?
Themba Zwane: I love both of them equally, to be honest. We have used the home more than we have them away, but they are both great quality so I have no preference.
Interviewer: What do you enjoy about the PUMA evoPOWER boots and how do they improve your game?
Themba Zwane: It is a boot made for football technicians, players who prefer to be on the ball. I have used it since its inception and have enjoyed every colour update. It definitely improves my touch and feel of the ball and accentuates my passing ability.
Interviewer: Are you active on Twitter?
Themba Zwane: I am not on twitter and have never been, there has been a bogus account opened using my name though.
