AmaZulu FC head coach Arthur Zwane has received individual recognition after guiding his team through an impressive run of results in the Betway Premiership.
The former Kaizer Chiefs coach has been named the league’s Coach of the Month for September and October, following a remarkable five-match winning streak that has propelled Usuthu into the top three.
Zwane’s achievement highlights the progress AmaZulu have made under his leadership, with the Durban-based side emerging as one of the teams to watch this season.
Five consecutive victories earn Zwane recognition
AmaZulu enjoyed a perfect run during the period, collecting 15 points from five matches to strengthen their position in the league standings.
The winning sequence began with a 2-1 away victory over Richards Bay FC in the KwaZulu-Natal derby.
Zwane’s team followed that result with a narrow 1-0 win against Marumo Gallants before securing another 1-0 victory over Polokwane City.
Usuthu then continued their impressive form with a 2-1 triumph over Durban City FC.
Their fifth consecutive victory came in the eThekwini Derby, where AmaZulu defeated Golden Arrows 1-0 to complete a flawless run.
Those results demonstrated the team’s ability to grind out important victories while maintaining consistency across different fixtures.
Zwane lifts AmaZulu into the Premiership’s top three
The impressive run has transformed AmaZulu’s position in the Betway Premiership standings.
The club currently sits third, just four points behind league leaders Mamelodi Sundowns.
Zwane has helped establish a competitive side capable of collecting points both at home and away. The team’s recent results have also given supporters renewed optimism about what Usuthu could achieve this season.
For the coach, the September and October award is a significant personal milestone and recognition of the work being done behind the scenes.
However, maintaining that momentum will be the next challenge as the Premiership campaign progresses.
AmaZulu’s upcoming fixtures
AmaZulu will return to league action after the international break, with Milford FC scheduled to visit on 28 November.
They will then face two consecutive away assignments against Sekhukhune United and Chippa United.
Usuthu are scheduled to close out their 2026 league calendar at home against newcomers Kruger United on 19 December.
These fixtures will provide Zwane with another opportunity to build on the team’s recent success and keep AmaZulu firmly in the race near the top of the table.
Can Arthur Zwane take AmaZulu even higher?
Winning five consecutive matches is a major achievement, but the bigger test for Zwane will be sustaining that level of performance throughout the season.
With AmaZulu currently third and only four points behind Sundowns, the team has an opportunity to remain among the leading contenders.
Zwane’s Coach of the Month award is well deserved, but Usuthu will be judged by how consistently they perform over the remaining fixtures.
Where do you expect AmaZulu FC to finish in the Betway Premiership this season?
