A delighted Arthur Zwane has heaped praise on in-form striker Ashley Du Preez following Kaizer Chiefs' crucial DStv Premiership win over Chippa United.
Chiefs kept their hopes for continental football alive with a 1-0 win against the Chilli Boys on Thursday courtesy of a stunning long-range effort by Du Preez.
The goal was the ninth of the season in all competitions for the 24-year-old who appears to have found his form having joined the Glamour Boys from Stellenbosch at the start of the season.

Du Preez has now directly contributed to six of Amakhosi goals in the last five league matches, with three goals and three assists.
"It's always going to take time [to adapt] for many players that come to Kaizer Chiefs, Kaizer Chiefs is a different team, in terms of the environment, how things are done, the professionalism [required], the set up," Zwane said post-match.
"So I don't blame players when they take longer to settle but we know how to help them and I think he [Du Preez] peaked with his form at the right time.
"We are happy and there is a reason we brought him here- he's scoring goals, and let alone but also doing well in terms of his overall performance."
Chiefs next face Swallows in a DStv Premiership clash at FNB Stadium on Monday.
Kick-off is at 15:00.
