AmaZulu FC head coach Arthur Zwane believes his side truly deserves to finish third this season and secure a spot in the CAF Confederation Cup.
While Usuthu are currently chasing the dream, their fate depends heavily on Kaizer Chiefs’ results in the final three matches.

Amakhosi currently occupy third place with 48 points five ahead of fourth-placed AmaZulu and six clear of Sekhukhune United in fifth.
In a thrilling end to the campaign, Chiefs must still face both Sekhukhune and AmaZulu away from home before closing their season against Chippa United.
Zwane insisted that his troops have worked tirelessly and are determined to bring continental football back to the club next season.
“This year is a great season for KZN teams. For some reason, all the teams they raised their bar,” said Zwane.
“When a lot of people thought [some teams] are restructuring, they actually surprised a lot of people.
“And it tells you that the direction taken by the owners, the board of directors was good. Though these things don’t happen overnight, they take time.
“But I think it’s a step in the right direction. You can see some are enjoying the fruits of their decision even though they were gonna backfire at some stage.
“It’s a good season for KZN teams. We also really want to go to Africa more especially, with what these players have done this season, they have worked really hard – they deserve something, that’s my belief.”
