Read: Chiefs Utility Player Provides Clarity On His Best Position
Zwane says they have always wanted a striker of the Burundian's qualities, because he is able to bring other attackers into the game.
"You must have seen today (against Stellenbosch), he simplifies things, he keeps it simple as a striker," Zwane told journalists in a press conference after the game.
"He doesn't just want to play the ball out, he wants to protect the ball in those one-twos, he's also skillful, he's not just a tall boy. And he's quick for his structure, he's got that balance as well. Yes, we've always wanted a player that can release players like 'Ash' (Ashley Du Preez)," he said.
"If you must have seen the runs that he made, he freed Ash, so that the ball carrier at that time must be able to pick one between the two of them. And that's why Ash, I think twice, he was free because Caleb will attract (defenders), that's the strength he has as a player," he continued.
"And like I said, he's also clever on the ball, he's not just a striker that is waiting for the crosses. We're not a team that will rely on high balls. We're a team that wants to penetrate on the middle, obviously use width to create goalscoring opportunities," he added.

Du Preez's woes in front of goal continued against his former side Stellies, as he missed a couple of sitters.
Zwane could contemplate making a change in the line-up, with Khama Billiat potentially returning in the near future.
Given Billiat's speed and guile in the final third, 'Mangethe' could be tempted to use the Zimbabwean instead, to benefit from Bimenyimana's ability to create space and free up runners.
Du Preez is yet to find his feet, as he has not scored since he returned from injury and perhaps using him off the bench as an impact player can make him raise his game and be of more effect with his energy and speed late in the games.
Do you think Chiefs should use Du Preez as an impact player instead? Let us know in the comments section below.
