Zwelendaba's match data across 14 appearances paints a picture of a centre built around consistency rather than flash — he carries the ball and makes tackles at near-identical rates per game, suggesting a player who contributes reliably in both directions. His defensive output stands out in particular, averaging close to seven tackles per match with a single-game peak of 19, indicating he is regularly asked to do significant defensive work. His carrying numbers show steady ground-gaining without breakthrough moments, pointing to a role focused on keeping the forward drive alive rather than creating from nothing.
