Some playing careers don’t burn long but they burn bright. Orlando Pirates once had one of South Africa’s most gifted footballers ever on their books.Mdulelo ‘Oldjohn’ Mabizela was a cultured, sublimely gifted central defender who never really fulfilled his immense potential as a footballer. 45 caps for Bafana Bafana isn’t an awful tally, but it could have been more. He only won a solitary piece of major silverware, the Norwegian title with Valerenga in 2005.
In July last year, Mabizela made headlines when he took a dig at the current DStv Premier Soccer League players, telling seasoned sportscaster, Robert Marawa, on his show It’d be remiss not to link you to Mabizela’s one and only goal for English Premier League side Tottenham. He only made nine appearances for the Londoners, and this strike was on his debut as a substitute!Blast from the past! Elon Musk’s mom Maye shared reflected on her stint as a finalist in the Miss SA pageant in 1969.
