Mamelodi Sundowns star Themba Zwane has earned high praise for his exploits and has been named a role model by one of his understudies at the club.
Zwane has arguably been one of Sundowns' most influential players alongside the likes of Gaston Sirino, Hlompho Kekana and Thapelo Morena in recent seasons.

The 30-year-old is currently the club's top scorer in the Absa Premiership this season with nine goals in 16 matches, with nine more games to go in the campaign.
It is no surprise then that 19-year-old Cassius Mailula, who is currently staking his claim for first-team promotion with The Brazilians' MultiChoice Diski Challenge outfit, looks up to the Bafana Bafana international.
"I decided to play as an attacking midfielder when I was 10 years old. I got inspired by the way Teko Modise played," said Mailula on the club's website.

"I also loved playing as a striker simply because I loved scoring goals and I hated seeing my team lose.
"The player I look up to is Themba Zwane. It's because of his hard work on and off the pitch and he plays in the same position as me.
"He is also one of the players who consistently performs well in PSL week in week out. I pray and wish that one day I can play alongside Themba Zwane."
