AmaZulu moved up to fifth position in the Betway Premiership standings during the weekend as they defeated Magesi 3-0, but despite the convincing victory, co-coach Arthur Zwane says there’s still room for the team to do better.

Goals from Nkosikhona Radebe, Tshepang Moremi and Andiswa Sithole made sure that Usuthu walked away with all three points at the Moses Mabhida Stadium.

Speaking after the game, Zwane stated: “We’re still not happy because we believe we can do much better than what we are doing now.”

“You must have seen in previous games that we’ve let ourselves down, and I keep reminding the players that the only team that can beat AmaZulu is AmaZulu.

“It’s just a case of mindset and belief from our players that we can be up there in the league, but we keep beating ourselves.”

Zwane singled out Nkosikhona Radebe for special recognition, particularly praising the player for his goal-scoring achievement.

“We always knew that we’ll need certain players that will come and add value to the squad and Radebe is one of those players.

“We needed to obviously wait for the right moment with him because there’s no doubt about his talent. He is a player who can easily fit into any system, he’s a very smart player on the ball and can read situations.

“I am happy he was able to open the scoring for us and that will boost his confidence, and now that’s added competition for that position, it’s a good headache to have because we need that competition to compete at this level,” Zwane concluded.
