The 28-year-old midfielder has had quite a journey through the football ranks, having first made a name for himself at the now-defunct Bidvest Wits before joining Al Ahly and later being loaned to Masandawana, where he won the hearts of the South African football community. His rise continued, but his dream was short-lived due to alleged off-field issues.
However, he now finds himself at the mercy of the Mpumalanga side, where he will have to convince the technical team that he is worthy of another chance on the field, having been spotted training with the club on Thursday morning.
Abafana Bes'thende have now joined Richards Bay in the semi-finals as the domestic competition heads towards its conclusion. The win is a boost for the ex-Masandawana tactician, who is hopeful of winning at least a title this season.
