Chiefs coach Zwane hit by bottle after SuperSport loss

Kaizer Chiefs coach Arthur Zwane was hit by a bottle and suffered a facial cut after a 1-0 South African Premiership loss to SuperSport United on Saturday.

When various objects were hurled at Zwane and his players in the northwest mining town of Rustenburg, the coach was struck underneath the eye and needed treatment.

Police escorted Zwane and the players to safety as a disastrous season for the Soweto giants continued.

Before being hit, Zwane criticised his players, accusing them of “going through the motions” in a match they had to win to have a chance of CAF qualification.

“We made SuperSport look good. We gave away three points. Our dreams of finishing the season on a high have been shattered,” said the former Chiefs winger.

It was a particularly sweet victory for vastly experienced coach Gavin Hunt, who was fired by Chiefs in 2021 after less than a season in charge.

“Everyone knows what happened to me at Chiefs – fired after getting to the semifinals of the CAF Champions League,” he said.
