The former Kaizer Chiefs winger Junior Khanye has shared a few words around Mamelodi Sundowns recent signing Thembinkosi Lorch. After making a debut against Orlando Pirates at Loftus Verfeld Stadium this past weekend which wasn't expected for him to walk into the starting eleven. However, his showing has impressed Khanye who felt that he's a great addition at Chloorkop. Also, he'll a superb competition for the Downs deputy captain Themba Zwane who has been playing more games within the club. Although, he needed to be rested after he part of the bronze winning Bafana Bafana side at the African Cup of Nations.

This has given Lorch an opportunity to be getting game time which is what he needs to show why Rulani Mokwena signed him from the Buccaneers. Especially when there was an age factor, but Sundowns plans per season, and they'll recruit all the necessary players that they need at that time. As they're competing in the CAF Champions League and also, the Premier Soccer League (PSL). They have a tough schedule which will require a squad rotation, so that everyone gets a chance to play. “Lorch did very well, he fitted like a glove. There is competition for ‘Mshishi’ [Themba Zwane] now,” Khanye told iDiski TV as per Phakaaathi.

As time goes, the Downs technical team might want to try something different and pair both Lorch and Zwane together in their attack. Who knows maybe they might feed off each other's energies and end up becoming an impressive duo. “He [Zwane] is a legend for Sundowns, but now there is someone [also] there with a high profile who does well for himself. He was dynamic and he played well off the ball,” said Khanye speaking to the media.
