Football is an amazing sport that has the potential to create lifetime memories. Many of the players who become legends in the country are those who are skilful and magical on the field of play. This is the identity of South African and something that we have always embraced. We’ve seen this happening a lot less in recent times more especially in professional football, however fans still hold on to memories of those who came before.

 

 

 

 

This Orlando Pirates star comes from the school of raw football as he spent a lot of time playing in Kasi tournaments. He tries his best to integrate skills into his game, however this isn’t usually effective at professional level. He has shared that he grew up as an Orlando Pirates fan, however he doesn’t shy away from giving props to some legends who played for Kaizer Chiefs.

Linda Mntambo took to social media to share a clip of the legendary Shakes Kungwane and also shared some thoughts on the late icon. He revealed that he was one of his idols as he shared that he is now good friend with his son Kabelo Kungwane. Figo crossed path with Shakes before his passing and he helped on his career.

The Bucs star shared that he will make sure to include a thing or two about him when he writes his book. This is definitely a fitting tribute for him and it is amazing to see that his legacy lives on in South African football. Kabelo Kungwane runs Kasi Flavor, a lifestyle afro centric football publication and has done photoshoots with Linda Mntambo.

Shakes Kungwane is one of those players who won’t be forgotten anytime soon by South African football. This is not only because of his playing days but his work on developing and nurturing talent. Many of these players have went on to become household names and this shows that he had the eye for talent. Linda Mntambo is one player who doesn’t shy away from showing love to those who helped him on the way.
