• Themba Zwane put on another impressive performance for Bafana Bafana during a World Cup qualifier against Nigeria
• The Mamelodi Sundowns superstar scored the opening goal of the fixture, netting his 12th goal for the national team

Is Themba Zwane better than Dr Khumalo?

That’s one of the debates causing a stir on social media after Zwane’s latest goal for the South African national team.

The Mamelodi Sundowns star, who made his debut for Bafana Bafana in 2014, once again showed his class for Hugo Broos’ team.

As noted by The South African, Mshishi scored a classy goal on the half-hour mark to give Bafana the lead against the Super Eagles.

Zwane latched onto a beautiful pass from Sphephelo Sithole and danced his way past Nigeria’s defenders before firing past Stanley Nwabali.

The goal marked his 12th for the national side, and he also got one fan comparing him to Dr Khumalo.

Khumalo, also known as 16v, is a former Kaizer Chiefs midfielder and Bafana legend.

Part of the 1996 AFCON winning squad, Khumalo still commands a lot of respect in the country.

Naturally Chiefs fans didn’t think too highly of the comment, while Sundowns’ supporters were in agreement.

Here’s how fans reacted to the post:

@mat_boschh:

“Lol Mdidi, leave our legend alone.”

@JaydenAzania:

“Themba Zwane Never Played In The USA ... Not Even In Argentina 🤣😅😂.”

@Nattie_Rad:

“Football was so easy back then 🤣🤣🤣.”

@sphesihle_mash:

“As a Kaizer Chiefs, I have never experienced the brilliance of Dr Khumalo, but I have experienced the brilliance of Themba Zwane. Therefore, I can only speak of what I know, Themba Zwane is the best player we have in South Africa ⭐👌🔥.
