Thabo Mngomeni is very brave to admit that he smoked dagga,brave my man. A few weeks ago all Gerlad Raphahlele could say was that "I wanted to smoke and Sam Pam was taking long to pray, after he finished he took out his cigarette and I felt free to smoke".

Hope Chippa United gives this soldier a job, even just to be a kit manager.

Pirates must give him a job, they under paid him during his playing time and they won games and glory by him, they must employ him

Eish Jahman I feel for you Bra. I mean 5 kids and you dont have a job just a name that u were once a proffessional soccer player eish I feel for you Bra. I know how difficult it is to have to explain to your Wife and Kids why they are starving eish I feel for u Bra. Speak to Khoza maybe he will do something for you. If there is one player I will never pity for is Jabu Pule aka Mahlangu I mean He drunk his money so he must not come to Sowetan and complain. Good job from Mcelwa Nchabeleng and Sowetan keep it up Bra.

It's strange that all the legends on this corner are from Gauteng or were involved with the teams based in Guteng. When are we going to hear about Mlungisi Ngubane, Das Neves bros, Fezile Momo, Joel Faya, Len Wilkinson, the Gillies bros, Vuyani Bhungu, Sydey Hoho, Welcome Ncita etc?

I am very heart broken to see the real Jahman being being under such dire conditions! I respect the integrity and individual truthful honesty in answering the questions unlike other celebrities he is not lying at all you can even feel the essence of the words that he is not lying. A very good moral leader by nature who is a role model and honest person! if he has a licence he can approach me I can do something for a time being while he still looking for something in football circles just to keep the fire burning at home, he can even be a driver in our department permanently while coaching on weekends and during afternoon practice with what ever a team he will be coaching.

What a great player! Thabo "Sangoma,Jahman" Mngomeni is a true player in the true sense of the words, humble,down to the earth, he has a big heart.A great player,sensational midfielder i always love to watch...yes he was a nucleus at Bucs,with the likes of Dungi Moeti,they were marvel to watch at the big Ship..

Sad that his injury robbed him, and as a player who has a-never-die-attitude,esp given to his age,you can see that "Sangoma" has a passion for the game he loves...

@MicaParis

I am touched by your generous my sister, thats Ubuntu my sister, and as Desmond Tutu put it,he says," to recast the Cartesian proposition,"i think ,therefore i am",Ubuntu would phrase it,"I am human because i belong",put iit another way,'a person is a person through other people"..
thanks my sister...

You are one of the players who didn't listen or learn that a soccer career is too short, you should have thought about your future long time ago.

this dude played soccer in a way that always made me believe that if there is an SA style of soccer it must be how Thabo played. Khoza please come to the party here, i have forgoten all the good deed by Dunga and Ngobe but i still remeber this dude in the beautiful black and white.
