A possible move from Kaizer Chiefs has not been completely ruled out for Samkelo Zwane, but the midfielder now has a much-needed opportunity to show the technical team at Naturena that he still has a lot to offer.
The Siya crew recently spoke to Zwane's agent Mike Makaab, who made it clear that the player is determined to fight for his place under head coach Nasreddine Nabi at Naturena, but a decision would also be made on his future if the situation around his playing time does not change.

As things stand, the Siya crew understands that a loan move has not been ruled out for the player for next season, but there is a chance for him to win his place back in the team after being called up to the national team for the African Nations Championship (CHAN) qualifiers.
After beating Egypt last time around, South Africa are in the final round of qualifiers for CHAN, where they will face Malawi.
Zwane has been included in the squad, along with Amakhosi teammate Tebogo Potsane, . It's been a tough second half of the season for Zwane, who has struggled to break into the starting line-up since the arrival of Thabo Cele in the January transfer window.
The 23-year-old has made just two starting line-up appearances since Cele arrived and has not been in the matchday squad since February. This would obviously be a concern for him, but the national team could help him get valuable minutes and restore some confidence. In total, he has featured 14 times for Amakhosi this season.

Sundowns duo Neo Maema and Terrence Mashego have been included in the squad that will be coached by former Amakhosi coach Molefi Ntseki. Both Maema and Mashego have been linked with a move away from Sundowns and have an opportunity to raise interest in their services with good performances in these qualifiers.
