“I would like to focus more on what we are going to do in our game against AmaZulu,” Zwane said as quoted by TimesLIVE.
“The issue of Njabulo Blom, management will deal with it, and from our side as the technical staff we just want to focus more on what’s coming up over the weekend against AmaZulu.
“I treat all my boys with special care, we have come a long way, I love all of them and I want the best for them and I think it was one of those things where sometimes in football things go your way and sometimes they don’t.
“I will focus on what is going to happen on the weekend and leave this to the management.
“I want the best for all the players including ‘Mshini’ [Nkosingiphile Ngcobo] and Njabulo [Blom], but for now we must channel our efforts to winning games.
“There are still going to be more people who are going to come and talk and that’s part of the game.”

“We have analysed AmaZulu and we know they are a dangerous team. The focus will be more on them as a team rather than individuals,” Zwane added.
“There is no doubt they have good players in their squad and we will treat them with the respect they deserve.”
