Kaizer Chiefs’ Zwane to Swallows: ‘We are in the business of football’

Kaizer Chiefs coach Arthur Zwane has warned Swallows FC that they won’t be showing any mercy towards them in Saturday’s final match of the season.

The two neighbours will battle it out for maximum in what could be the final Soweto Derby between them as Swallows are facing relegation.

As things stand, Swallows are level on 25 points with 16th-placed Baroka FC with a game to go while Chiefs are fourth on the PSL log and still in with a chance to finish second.

However, for Chiefs to stand any chance of finishing second and returning to the CAF Champions League next season, they should beat Swallows and hope Cape Town City and Royal AM lose their matches.

Zwane said Chiefs will not do Swallows any favours in order to perhaps ‘help’ them beat automatic relegation to GladAfrica Championship.

The two teams have enjoyed good working relationship over the years in terms of the selling and buying of players but that relationship will be put on hold for 90 minutes come match day.

KAIZER CHIEFS: ARTHUR ZWANE’S STRONG WARNING TO SWALLOWS

“If Swallows do well enough to win the game, then it would be well-deserved but unfortunately, this time around, we also want all the points; not a draw but we want to win the game,” Zwane told reporters.

“There are no friendships in football, like I said, friendships count for nothing. We are in the business of football here,” added Zwane.
