Bafana Bafana star Themba Zwane has been hailed by his former coach Pitso Mosimane after his heroics against Algeria in midweek.
The Mamelodi Sundowns player showed the continent once again why he is among the best in the game in Africa following a brace against Algeria in the exciting 3-3 encounter.

'Mshishi' turned heads when he placed Bafana into a 2-1 lead at half-time with an impressive double after the South Africans had gone behind earlier on.
Writing on his official Twitter, Mosimane discussed Zwane's selflessness and how he always puts the interest of the team first ahead of his own.
"No arguments with the coaches, but has an opinion. He keeps the dressing room quiet and focused, unselfish behaviour and cares about the team," Mosimane wrote on his social media.
Zwane has been Bafana's key man in opening up defences over the past year and highly impressed at the recent Africa Cup of Nations where his team reached the semi-finals.
A lot has been made about Zwane's position for the national team in order to bring out the best in him and South Africa, so 'Jingles' weighed in on the matter.
"Does not like anybody who dims his light. Always laughing but an introvert, you have to give him respect and appreciate his talent. Just tell him to dance and ski on the pitch and sit back.
"You will enjoy. Leader!" Mosimane pointed out.
Zwane will turn his focus to his club side Masandawana for their crucial CAF Champions League quarter-final first-leg clash against Tanzania's Young Africans on Saturday.
