The ugly scenes at Royal Bafokeng Stadium on Saturday afternoon after Kaizer Chiefs were beaten 1-0 by SuperSport United were uncalled for, but they have been bubbling under for sometime.
The game of football, from a fan's point of view, is more a game of emotions than logic, unfortunately for Zwane, the emotional pain of some Chiefs fans was directed at him, wrongfully so, instead of the people who should be feeling the wrath of the supporters.
Zwane, as much as he is no Jesus, is being crucified for the sins of others, Chiefs management that is.

The fact is, Kaizer Chiefs will not win games/trophies, just because they are the once feared giants, they can't keep riding on the past success carried by their name.
Success demands the right systems and processes to be put in place in order for it to find fertile ground to grow on.
Unfortunately, at Chiefs, that fertile ground is non-existent.
One only has to look at a team like Mamelodi Sundowns as a template, look at their technical team, including analysts and specialist coaches like the highly qualified and experienced Michael Loftman who deals with set-pieces.
And look at the investment they have made to ensure they have a quality squad.
Now take a look at Chiefs and tell me what you see.
The reality is Chiefs deserve to be fourth or lower on the log, because the quality of their team as a whole dictates that, not coach Arthur Zwane.
When Chiefs lose to SuperSport, they are losing to their peers when it comes to squad quality, period.
Zwane, unfortunately, is on the frontline, and on Saturday afternoon, he took the bullets for a team that is still crawling while the football world is running, leaving it behind marveling at the past glory carried by its name.
