Club legend and former coach Arthur Zwane has sent a massive word of gratitude to Dr. Kaizer Motaung following his surprise exit from Kaizer Chiefs as '10111' embarks on a new chapter at AmaZulu FC.
The Durban-based outfit announced on Tuesday evening that Zwane would be taking up the role of co-head coach alongside Vusumuzi Vilakazi.

This follows the the parting of ways with Pablo Franco Martin after a disastrous start that saw the side suffer three consecutive defeats in the opening three matches of the 2024/25 Betway Premiership season.
Speaking to Amakhosi's official website, Zwane penned a heartfelt farewell to his now former side, ending a 24-year-stay with the Soweto giants.
"I would definitely like to extend my deepest gratitude to Dr. Motaung for the unwavering support, guidance and love throughout my Chiefs career as a player and a coach.
"His belief in me has allowed me to grow from a player to a development coach and ultimately to the head coach.
"I am truly thankful for the opportunities the Club has provided which have shaped not just my career but my life. So, thank you to Kaizer Chiefs and thank you to the Chairman."

Both Zwane and Vilakazi bring experience in the Usuthu coaching role, with the former having served as head coach at Naturena in 2022/23, while the man fondly known as 'Kanu' has had several spells as head coach, notably at Richards Bay FC, Golden Arrows (co-coach) and Chippa United.
