The Bafana Bafana captain has come under fire for some errors made in recent games but the German tactician is singing in his corner
Orlando Pirates coach Josef Zinnbauer has said he still trusts and needs “big player” Thulani Hlatswayo despite the defender’s costly mistakes which he says are nothing unusual, just like how Germany and Bayern Munich centre-back Jerome Boateng makes errors.
Hlatshwayo has been partly blamed for Pirates' poor results of later, most notably his own goal in the 1-1 draw against Swallows FC on April 24.
But Zinnbauer has come to the defence of his Pirates vice-captain.
