Willard Katsande reacts to Kaizer Chiefs loaning out Samkelo Zwane to Siwelele FC, makes Casemiro-Real Madrid comparison

Kaizer Chiefs loaned out Samkelo Zwane to Siwelele FC after the central midfielder could not find space in the Amakhosi matchday squads.
Zwane is joined on this loan move by Happy Mashiane, who also struggled for game time despite being a versatile player.
Former Chiefs midfielder Willard Katsande has hailed the decision to loan out Zwane, saying it is a positive development for the player who came through Amakhosi's development ranks.

The former midfield hardman compared Zwane's move to Real Madrid loaning out Casemiro to FC Porto in 2014.

"It's a good move for the boy because he's in a phase where he's developing his game, so it's important for him to grow his game, and Siwelele is where that can happen," Katsande told KickOff.
"Now he will get game-time week in, week out because if you look at the Chiefs' midfield, it is packed at the moment. So, as the boy was growing, it's good for him to go to the environment where he's going to grow, while Chiefs monitor what's going on.  
"For example, look at Casemiro. When he got signed by Real Madrid, they loaned him to FC Porto in Portugal, for a season or two, and by that time, the midfield of Real Madrid was packed. But when he came back, he was a strong, established midfielder, and he came back with a lot of experience," added the former Zimbabwe captain.
"That even helped Real Madrid to be unbreakable. The result ended up with three Champions League titles in a row, so sometimes being loaned out is a way of growing in a direction where you need to be competitive, and that's when you come back, you do your best.
"Now, Zwane will be playing in an environment where the demands are not as much as at Chiefs, at Chiefs, one mistake, we tend to kill him, forgetting he's a kid, so this is a good move for him, overall."

In the last three seasons, Zwane appeared to be on the path to becoming a regular Chiefs player with promising performances playing first team football.
But surprisingly, he found it tough this term as the coaches preferred the likes of Thabo Cele and Siphesihle Ndlovu ahead of him.

Having made his Siwelele debut on Tuesday against Orlando Pirates, a day after joining the club, Zwane appears to have the trust of Lehlohonolo Seema.
He is now expected to fight for a starting spot as Siwelele prepare to face Marumo Gallants in the Mangaung Derby on Saturday.
