Papi Zothwane (born 17 August 1981 in Bophelong, Gauteng) is a South African former soccer player who played as a midfielder.
He was almost signed by Kaizer Chiefs in 2006 but a contractual dispute ended in him staying with Arrows.
The lanky attacking or central midfielder has been impressive over the last seasons despite being constantly rocked by injuries.
Since the end of the 2007–08 season Zothwane had been liked with big money moves to Kaizer Chiefs and Orlando Pirates.
After much speculation surrounding his future after the 2008/2009 season, he signed for Mamelodi Sundowns in July 2009 on a three-year contract for an undisclosed fee.
