Overview
- Sekhukhune confirmed late Tuesday that Cédric Kaze had left the club with immediate effect and thanked him for his service.
- The club appointed Papi Zothwane as head coach with Paulus Masehe as assistant and retained goalkeeper coach Nascent Nkhwashu to ensure continuity.
- Kaze managed five official matches for Sekhukhune, recording two wins and three defeats, and was serving a touchline ban during the 3-0 MTN8 semi-final loss to Orlando Pirates.
- Local outlet FARPost reported the move before the club announcement, illustrating how media reports often precede formal confirmations in South African club football.
- The change highlights a wider pattern of short-term pressure on coaches in the Betway Premiership and leaves Khalil Ben Youssef, Kaze’s former co-coach at Kaizer Chiefs, under reported scrutiny at Durban City.
