Mamelodi Sundowns can find themselves in good and commanding positions on and off the pitch. It's not known easy to be on top of the game for almost a decade. Hence, the technical team will need the players' buy-in at all times. When they have senior players in their squad then they will look into getting them involved in leadership roles. Not everything is about being known, some players enjoy doing their work in silence and let their work do the talking. This is what the Sundowns fringe star Bongani Zungu is doing at Chloorkop, as he is regarded as a player-coach.


Although it's something that comes within the player to bring value into the value, some of them don't do it for extra income. It's a matter of cementing their stay in such a prestigious establishment and they know that there's longevity at Sundowns. After fans questioned the re-signing of Zungu to Downs, now Rulani Mokwena has set the record straight. As he stated the talented midfielder is more than just a player as he's regarded as a leader. Which is an exceptional attribute that will make him stand out from the rest of the squad. "He organises the team and [does] a lot of coaching on the pitch, and these are some of the things you don’t see. He is selfless; he’s a good human being. Bongz looks after the younger ones and the team," said Mokwena speaking to the media.

'Ben 10' as he's affectionately known in the football fraternity, has made 39 appearances in Tshwane Giants. He's been mostly used as a super substitute and comes in just after the half-hour mark. Then had to control the competitive Sundowns midfield and lead them to work together. Surely, he would love to play more often, but at the same time, he can use his experience to benefit the young players.

Orlando Pirates rising star Relebohile Mofokeng has been spotted on social media sharing his different victories. Even possibly shared a hint that he might be on his way overseas. One thing for sure is that Mofokeng is having a great time in his football career and he's slowly becoming a household name. As the fans enjoy seeing him play for the Buccaneers as he's able to assist in attack and can take on opponents. Which allows him to increase Pirates opportunities of scoring goals, since he's an attack-minded player.


In most cases, the fans have seen the teenage sensation on the pitch, but not behind the scenes. This time around he shared a photo of him standing next to a silver Volkswagen Polo which cost approximately R540 000. It's a the famous Polo GTI that most footballers get as their first cars. The VW car ranges are between R340 000 and a million, which means most footballers can afford it as they get a lot money each month. Also, on top of that they got sponsors and partnerships with different brands that bring more money.

It's always amazing seeing a youngster achieving his goals and he can even play overseas if he carries on with the same winner's mentality. On another photo, the 19-year-old star was seen with his teammates Thabiso Sesane wearing an English Premier League side Wolverhampton Wanderers (Wolves) jersey which might be a hint that he's on his way out of Mayfair. As he wants to begin his overseas career and get to live his dream abroad. Also, at the beginning of the campaign he was on a trial with Wolves.
