Bhele: Age Is Just A Number

Siyabonga Nomvethe has spoken about his goal in the match for AmaZulu against Mamelodi Sundowns.

Bhele, as the former Kaizer Chiefs striker is fondly known, scored one of the goals as Usuthu beat Sundowns in their Absa Premiership match on Saturday.

Mabhuti Khenyeza scored the other goal for the Durban-based side.

“It all comes down to dedication‚ I also spent a lot of time with my family and I work very hard at training so that I am always fit.

“I am using my talent‚ which is a gift from God‚ and I don’t know when I will stop playing professional football because my legs can still carry me. I never expected to reach this age still playing professionally‚” the 39-year-old has been quoted as saying on AmaZulu website.

Nomvethe has extended his lead as the all-time leading PSL goal scorer to 120 goals.

“Age is just a number‚ I am just making sure that I use of the opportunity that I have to inspire others. There are youngsters that I have seen who can play for Bafana Bafana‚ for the junior national teams or even go to Europe but they waste their talents because of doing things that are not right.

“Others are no longer with us anymore because they took wrong decisions but I want those who are still playing at the moment to look at me and Mabhuti Khenyeza.

“We love and respect football because it has given us a lot and they must not have bad influences in their lives because those people will not be there when things are bad. We just want to show them that football is played with love and respect,” concluded the forward.

What a gentleman – Maponyane

We have asked five former Kaizer Chiefs players from five different decennia, starting with the foundation of the club on 7 January 1970 to now, to talk about their relationship with Chairman Kaizer Motaung for his 73rd birthday on Monday, 16 October 2017. Marks Maponyane (1980s) “What a gentleman,” Marks Maponyane says about Chairman Kaizer Motaung. “He’s also somebody who is prepared to listen and give honest advice when needed. Kaizer really loves his team and the beautiful game of soccer.” Motaung was nearing the end of his soccer career in the seventies, when Maponyane was still a teenager. “I would often go with a few friends to watch Kaizer Chiefs play,” the former striker remembers. “We would walk from Meadowlands to Orlando after having saved money during the week to be able to buy a ticket.” Maponyane played for the Glamour Boys from 1981 until 1991. “I was completely in awe when meeting Kaizer for the first time,” he admits. He points out that “as much as Kaizer played th...

City To Extend Ndou’s Stay?

Sources have alerted the Siya crew that despite earlier reports that Polokwane City intended to part ways with veteran striker Rendani Ndou, the Limpopo-based club may now look to retain the services of the 30-year-old forward. Ndou has been with Rise and Shine for the past three years and reports surfaced that he could be making an exit when his contract comes to an end. However, Siya sources have revealed that City may look to keep the experienced striker at the club. Earlier reports suggested that Ndou along with teammates Tshepo Tema and Randy Ngobe were left out in the cold by the club as they were no longer in the future plans of coach Bernard Molekwa. However, sources close to the club indicated that Ndou is in line for a two-year extension that would see him remain at the club until 2020. Ndou signed a three-year deal with Polokwane City back in 2014 after Black Leopards failed to gain promotion to the P...
