What happened

Siwelele coach Lehlohonolo Seema is keen to have Samkelo Zwane and Happy Mashiane again next season, but their future remains in the hands of parent club Kaizer Chiefs.

Why it matters

Zwane has featured seven times for Siwelele this season, while Mashiane has played just once.

Common ground

They are expected to return to Chiefs at the end of the season, but Seema feels they can still add value at the club next season, especially if they do preseason with the club.

Perspective signals

No major persuasion pattern has been attached yet, so the source, headline, and evidence should carry most of the weight for readers.
