Former Kaizer Chiefs midfielder Humphrey Mlwane has high praise for a pair of Eswatini strikers, likening their potential to past club legends.
Mlwane, referencing iconic players like Ronnie Dube and the Shongwe brothers, believes Thubelihle Mavuso and Bongwa Matsebula could forge a similar path at Naturena.
“All the players Chiefs signed from Eswatini excelled,” Mlwane told KickOff.
He highlighted the success stories of past Swazi signings, emphasizing their legendary status amongst Amakhosi fans.
This connection to past glories fuels Mlwane’s belief in Mavuso and Matsebula’s ability to thrive in the gold and black.
Mlwane’s words carry weight. His own playing career with the Chiefs adds a layer of experience to his evaluation.
He recognizes the talent on display during the COSAFA Cup and sees a similar spark he witnessed in past Eswatini signings.
This historical reference adds intrigue to the transfer talk surrounding the young strikers. Could Mavuso and Matsebula replicate the success of their predecessors? Their recent performances have certainly piqued interest, and Mlwane’s endorsement only strengthens their case.
Whether Kaizer Chiefs will follow in the footsteps of their past and pursue these rising stars remains to be seen.
One thing is clear – Mlwane’s comments have reignited memories of legendary Swazi players and opened the door for a new chapter in the club’s relationship with Eswatini talent.
