Speaking exclusively to Soccer Laduma back in 2017, Mshishi explained the celebration that he dubbed the "Zombie dance."
"Ha ha ha, it's a random Kasi celebration, man. We call it the 'Zombie dance' and my boys from eKasi always want to see me do it whenever I score.
"I do it for my boys and they say since I started celebrating with that dance I have been scoring more regularly. So they say I mustn't stop doing it. You know how it is in the townships, people just create their own things out of nowhere and that's exactly what happened with this dance," said Zwane.
Mayambela's throwback celebration shows just how much influence Themba Zwane has and how highly valued he is in the Bafana set-up.
