The Congolese striker has spent the last week training with his teammates following his January transfer window move to the Glamour Boys.
While Zwane says the players is not available for selection as yet, he has fitted seamlessly into the squad and has justified his signing.
"Yeah, look, we profiled the player obviously and as I said, when we brought him here to have a closer look at him in terms of assessing him, it was very, very key for us and the things that you were looking at was how is he going to adapt? He's from Congo, you know, and they speak French, so the things that you look at first is if there is any challenge of maybe, the language barrier? You are trying to avoid such things," he told the media.
"If that's the case, then are we going to have someone close by that's going to translate, you know, going forward, or is he going to adapt quickly? But when you look at that, he understands everything. You know when it comes to communication, which is very, very key. And many other aspects that were very key for us to bring him closer and so that when we made the decision to bring him over, then we are sure that we can take that risk, you know, and so far, so good.
"To be quite honest, he is a jolly good fellow. He looks so disciplined. But you know, players like these ones. They're very, very committed. To the game. You see passion in there and you see a lot of love," he continued.
