Mzolo has been in electric form for Arrows' Reserves this season and was on the mark again to add two more goals under his belt, extending his goal tally to 13 for the campaign, as Arrows hammered Swallows 5-0 at Dobsonville Stadium.

The 19-year-old, who has trained with the Arrows' first team, is yet to make his senior debut and admits that he is relishing the opportunity.
"hopefully I might be able to get the opportunity [in the Premiership] since I've trained with the first team," Mzolo said.
The attacker is among the youngest players that made an appearance in last year's Compact Cup, alongside other young stars such as Mduduzi Shabalala and Luphumlo Sifuma.
Asked if Abafan Bes'thende head coach Vusimuzi Vilakazi, who was also present at the match against Swallows, had given any indication that the striker might be in his plans for the senior team, Mzolo added:"It's looking hopeful, because the coach is always helping me a lot. He looks at the way I play and gives me tips."

The record for most goals scored in a single DDC season belongs to Orlando Pirates striker (now on loan at Cape Town Spurs) Boitumelo Radiopane, who scored 24 goals last season.
While that tally may now be out of reach, with just four games to play, Mzolo is not closing the door on challenging for the Golden Boot award.
"I do see myself challenging for it [Golden Boot award] and when I look at the number games left, I think I can still challenge. But [as a team] we have to keep working hard and I will try my best to also contribute."
