Toughest opponent & best coach…

-

“I faced a lot of very strong and physical defenders during my time.

Lucky Lekgwathi was one – unshakeabl­e and very relentless. You would find him breathing down

your neck all the time. Siyabonga Sangweni and Rooi Mahamutsa, as well, were tough customers. Mahamutsa, in particular, was not only physical, he would also fight on the pitch because he was so passionate and gave his all for his club. As for the best coach, the list is endless and I have many coaches that played a bigger role in my developmen­t and assisted me into becoming who I am. I would say (among them is) the late Vusa Mlilo, who coached me at Buymore FC in Zimbabwe, Sunday Chidzambwa, a compatriot who coached me at Black Leopards, and Stuart Baxter at both Kaizer Chiefs and SuperSport United. I am only mentioning these four, but all the coaches

that I played under contribute­d to the player that I became in their own different ways.”
