'Nobody is irreplaceable! Mamelodi Sundowns doing well without Themba Zwane, but Orlando Pirates’ Patrick Maswanganyi still plays township football - He can’t replace Mshishi’ - Fans

Mamelodi Sundowns captain Themba Zwane is injured and will miss Bafana Bafana's upcoming 2025 Africa Cup of Nations qualifiers against Uganda and South Sudan.

But South Africa coach Hugo Broos is convinced Orlando Pirates midfielder Patrick Maswanganyi is capable of replacing Zwane.

    Zwane on another level, unmatched

    If you know ball you should acknowledge Zwane is on another level and his experience is unmatched. As a Pirates fan I believe Tito needs to work a bit harder to fill that position but playing like Mshishi is not guaranteed cause it's two players from different times with different styles - Sizwe Mangethe

    No one said Tito must play like Mshishi

    No one said Tito must play like Mshishi or be a replica of Mshishi ,Tito hs his own style of play at same position Mshishi is currently playing and Mshishi’s age is against him so any player can replace Mshishi due to his retirement is around the corner - Japhta Tebza-Tsoai Hara

    Maswanganyi plays township football

    But it hard to find that class my brother for me I don't think Maswanganyi can fit in that position his good but he still plays township football -  Nkocie Ngoh

    Downs doing well without Zwane

    It's hard to find his replacement🤣🤣🤣 but Sundowns is doing well without him or with him from the bench!? Then on national team u want to say he's irreplaceable😂😂😭😭 - Asenathi Azokuhle Ngetyi 

  • Doctor Khumalo and Themba Zwane Graphic.GOAL.

    Many players thrived in Zwane's role

    We had Shoes and Doctor, after them Pienaar and others filled that role, even Teko, it's all about belief from a coach to succeed - Tsikitsiki Thabz

    Mshishi's Bafana advantage over Tito

    Let's not forget that 80% of Bafana Bafana players is Sundowns, they know each other that gives Mshishi a leverage to do better than Tito, as for Tito he needs to adapt playing new players.....Mhlanga Elly

    Zwane doesn't dribble going backwards like Tito

    Themba Zwane doesn't showboat going backwards instead he dribless going forward! ...Tito can't replace Mshishi - Oscar Marco's Garvey

    Nobody is irreplaceable

    Eventually somebody will replace your Mshishi! Nobody is irreplaceable! - Biso Ellobus

    A long way to go for Maswanganyi

    This one still has a long way to go if we are being honest as South Africans that love & watch football, clubism aside. Tito is far from reaching Themba Zwane's quality, he showboats too much going backwards, he has a temper on the pitch & he still needs to improve on his consistency especially in the national team - Tee'tee Mtsweni

  • Sipho Mbule, Sekhukhune UnitedBackpage

    Only Mbule can replace Zwane

    I feel like Sipho Mbule is the only one who's capable of replacing Themba - Cvctus T Scott 

  • Ndabayithethwa Ndlondlo, Orlando PiratesBackpage

    Even Ndlondlo is better than Maswanganyi

    Honestly speaking Ndabayithethwa Ndlondlo is better than Tito. Zwane place in our national team squad it's big it won't be easy finding someone good as him. We could play with Mokoena and Aubus in the middle - Siya Lakha
