The former Bafana Bafana captain’s performance in the Soweto Derby was one of the main talking points on social media
Orlando Pirates succumbed to a 2-1 defeat to Kaizer Chiefs in the biggest match in the South African football calendar on Saturday afternoon.
Two second-half goals from Keagan Dolly inspired Amakhosi to a victory over their Soweto rivals with Linda Mntambo scoring Bucs’ goal at FNB Stadium in Johannesburg.
It was a match that saw Pirates vice-captain Thulani Hlatshwayo make a mistake that led to Chiefs’ first goal before his central defensive partner Olisa Ndah conceded a late penalty which was converted by Dolly to seal Amakhosi’s victory.
Many fans took to social media to share their thoughts on the titanic encounter with some comparing Hlatshwayo with Manchester United captain and defender Harry Maguire.
Read how Twitter reacted to Chiefs’ victory over Pirates:

I don’t think Pirates support will torelate too many error from Ndah and Hlatshwayo It’s so painful seeing your own central backs playing against your own team Baxter was lucky, his lineup is for draw Dolly is just marvelous #SowetoDerby#DStvPrem #Amakhosi4Life #OnceAlways

I said this about Keagan Dolly last month…
And I still stand by it
He is going to be a dangerous weapon for Stuart Baxter and Kaizer Chiefs this season#DStvPrem #DStvPremiership #Amakhosi4Life #OnceAlways #SowetoDerby Soweto Derby Orlando Pirates pic.twitter.com/GlZfMj4x31

Thulani Hlatshwayo is not with us,so we need a coach who will not include him.if we are to win big matches
— ☠Sothole☠ (@ZolaniMLanga1) November 6, 2021
Do not worry @ManUtd here in South Africa we have similar player like Maguire by the name of Thulani “Tyson” Hlatshwayo and also the captain. This two guys are costly.
