‘ADVICE FROM MY FATHER’
Lebohang Maboe’s father Sidwell played football in the PSL for Orlando Pirates, Bloemfontein Celtic, SuperSport United, AmaZulu, Free State Stars and Wits University, so his understanding of the game is also top notch.
Father and son regularly have chats, which at times get deep.
“The advice I get from him is that I have to be smart with how I use my money because football is a short career, which we all know,” Maboe junior says. “For now, he has been stressing about me being fully fit since we talk all the time.
“He is encouraging me and at times I just look at him and be like, ‘I honestly wish it could be easy for me to be easy with myself, but it is not easy at all. I have to understand the process of this injury and not be too harsh with myself because I want to come back stronger.”
