Here is an illustration of the unique benefits of wearing an Orlando Pirates jersey. Young athletes should approach and take notes.
Mbele, who is currently the Team Manager at AS Vita, said KickOff, “I came to Orlando as a 17-year-old not for money but for exposure because I wanted to become a professional soccer player.”
“If you visit Congo, you will discover who Lelo is.
“I played in Saudi Arabia, where Ronaldo is currently playing. Al Hilal was a member of the largest club there, and one million people attended (approx. R17 million).
“Even after my first tour of duty in Saudi Arabia [whe (about R21 million) transfer + USD250,000 in 2007], I traveled to Esperance for a million-dollar move in Sudan and Libya.
“All of this occurred as a result of Pirates, which is why the league is so excellent. Due to Pirates, I gathered money from all over.
“How could I not have loved playing with Gift Leremi, Cheeseboy (Lebohang Mokoena), Tso Vilakazi, Steve Lekoelea, and Duku-Duku Makhany when there were wonderful people in the office like Nkosana Khoza?
Mbele said, “I am what I am today because of Orlando Pirates; I played for them in the Champions League and was seen by clubs around the world.”
