Former Kaizer Chiefs and Orlando Pirates striker Phumlani Mkhize believes Arthur Zwane has overachieved this season with the squad available to him at Naturena.
Mkhize insists it wouldn't be fair to judge the Chiefs legend during a rebuilding phase this season and should be given at least one more season in charge.

"The boys played on Saturday, and Chiefs were a lot better than Pirates in the second half," Mkhize tells KickOff.
"Pirates were the better team in the first half, so I can say the game was balanced.
"Remember Arthur started the team from scratch, so he is still developing the boys.
"So next season, Chiefs will be the best team. Yes, mistakes from his players do cost him a lot of Arthur.
"Most players there still lack experience, but for now, I can say Arthur has done a lot compared to coaches who came before him because they had experienced players in their squads.
"Now that there's no trophy to play for, Arthur shouldn't be judged. It will be a bonus if they finish inside the top four.
"They should be fighting for a top eight. So, let's give Arthur credit, he managed to beat Pirates two times this season.
"He managed to beat a Spanish coach who is having a Pro License, and Arthur only has A License.
"And also, Arthur hasn't abandoned the club's old culture of promoting talented youngsters.
"Two or three years to come these players will be household names. They will be sweeping all the trophies next season Chiefs I'm telling you."
