Mamelodi Sundowns have made a decisive move regarding the future of their captain, Themba Zwane.
His contract had reached its endpoint at the close of the previous season, leaving the club with critical decisions to make.
Themba Zwane’s agent, Jazzman Mahlakgane, confirmed that Sundowns have opted to extend the midfielder’s tenure by triggering the first option available to them.
This extension secures Zwane’s presence with the Tshwane giants until the season’s end, after which the club will reassess their options.
Speaking at the Richards Bay FC sponsorship launch, Mahlakgane emphasized the club’s decision and expressed his confidence in Zwane’s ongoing contributions on the field.
Despite Zwane being 34 years old, Mahlakgane believes his quality and performance remain top-notch, suggesting that Zwane could continue playing at a high level for another two to three years.
Quality Over Age
Mahlakgane stressed the importance of recognizing Zwane’s skill and experience, rather than focusing solely on his age.
Drawing parallels to older players like Cristiano Ronaldo and Pepe who continue to excel, Mahlakgane advocated for evaluating players based on their abilities rather than their age.
Future Prospects
Looking ahead, Mahlakgane’s comments underscore a broader conversation about valuing experience and skill in players like Zwane, who continue to demonstrate their worth on the field.
