'I used to eliminate defenders...'

In this edition of Story Behind My Nickname, we get to find out from current AmaZulu FC head coach Arthur Zwane the origin of his nickname, 10111.
Speaking on the SuperSport's monthly show PSL KZN focus, the Kaizer Chiefs legend said he was not too sure how he ended up with his popular nickname '10111'.
10111 is the 24-hour South African Police Service emergency call centre number.
Zwane assume he was given the name due to his tendency of swifly coming to rescue Chiefs each time they had their backs against the wall.
"I really don't know, but I know that I got the name from the Kaizer Chiefs supporters," Zwane said.
"They used to call me Simply The Best, and also they used to call me Nyakanyaka.
"So I was a bit confused as well who is Nyakanyaka between me and my cousin brother Eugene Zwane who they also used to call Nyakanyaka.
"The 10111 nickname, I saw this one guy holding a well-painted boot written '10111 Arthur Zwane' this one time in the stadium.
"I liked that, but it probably comes from my playing style, the way I used to eliminate defenders, and also scoring goals and creating goalscoring opportunities.
"And mainly the speed because you know in my game there was that element of speed."
