We in Minnesota had the privilege of seeing Ace play for six seasons. We were strangers to soccer in many ways but class always shines. Ace shone like the midday sun.
The last time i watched this legend , Mabhekaphantsi (the game controller) in action was in the late 80s in Thembisa, Mehlareng stadium. He had just arrived from Toronto . It was a thrilling game between Kaizer Chiefs and Moroka Swallows, it was also the last time i watched Joel Mongezi Mkhuthuzi Ace Mnini in action. Swallows fielded, William Khura Makhura, Happycow Nkomo, Aubrey the great Makgopela, Sullie Bump jive Bhamjee, Gonna Hanana ha Padayache, Phil uYindoda Venter just to mention a few. Chiefs had the body swerver , Teenage Mgabadeli Dladla, Trevor Kae kapa kae Mthimkhulu, Fetsi Telephone exchange Molatedi. The hero of the day was Wlliam Coolcat Shongwe, Happycow sent a powerful shot to the right corner of the poles, Coolcat dived to the corner when it got deflected to the left corner Coolcat acrobatically went the left corner, everybody stood up in disbelief!!!
The Maestro on the soccer field. Ace changed the game tempo like turning the volume dial of a sound stereo. I hear the voice of another Maestro's commentary of the game. Cebo Manyaapelo. Listening to him brought the game alive, even when his commentary was on the radio. These 2 Maestro's are dearly missed in our soccer world.
Gone are those days when players play for interests of their supporters and for thier happiness, not these nowerdays players busy playing for money, not carring for their supporters
Anyone notice that there's no sound of the vuvuzela. That's how we SA supporters used to do. Kedi fluit, singing ska Siwelele and the shouts of "Aaaaaaccce, Shoooooees, Sttteeeve, Rheeeeee, Rhhooo etc. Not the lie SAFA sold to the world ka 2010. U don't hear those things during kasi games, where can u get 30k supporters during big diski tournaments
Not sure what you are saying. Kalamazoo Mokone went to Italy and competed well. Ace went to America and competed well against world class players. He even received Hall of Fame recognition. Kaiser Motaung did the same and so did Jomo Sono. I can quote more players. Despite isolation, South African XI played well against few countries e.g. Argentina match is quoted
I am a white Afrikaans person and personally some of my sporting heroes include doctor khumalo and Lucas Radebe, I really find junior khanye interesting. I would however say Danny Jordaan chases us away haha. Back in 1996 white, Indian people cheered for baFana bafana . Question is why are they so bad nowadays?
I do not support Kaizer Chiefs bu Pirates. I used to admire and fear some Kaizer Chiefs players like Nelson Teenage Botsotsi Dladla and Patrick 'Ace' Nstoelengoe fondly named Umbhekaphansi njengesambane. Probably alongside Ephraim Jomo Troublemaker Sono are the two best players this country has ever produced. I've been lucky to have watched the two maestros live in my lifetime. RIP Aaaaaace!

He was a bit shy, remember seeing him in New Doornfontein(JHB) in 2002.
They didn't have competition. But now they are not winning at all
He was the best even now not even who is like him
He was so good at slowing down the tempo of the game when needed. He was a complete footballer.
Football made simple, he is the best of all time

Correction Mabhekaphansi is one who looks down.
I was fortunate to watch him for many times in durban
Thanks for the upload!

May his soul rest in peace
Stars of our time
where did you get all this stuff my man this inspires a documentary on these legends
If bafana bafana had these kind of players nobody will touch SA.
nxumalo
i agree with you
Back when crowed could appreciate a player gunuinley. vuvuzela really detroyed the beautiful game. No wonder it was burned in europe.
what a gem
What a player
He scored so many goals from midfield todays players can't even get 8 goals a season.
Ace made soccer look so easy
Pure Genius
Abelungu besadlala ibholo la eMzansi!

Eish bra. Sad .
The real Aceee!!
What a squat of those lovelydays😄
Where is Shaka Ngcobo especially against Wits in 1983 Datsun?
Where are these fans nowadays ?
Chased away by vuvuzelas
Politics has no place in sport
driven away by poor quality football players
Muchana
Technology, too much access
Please share more videos
People, you notice that horizontal run at 2.55 is the same Messi kills everyone with?
to think this was 1978 at Rand Stadium
How was Computer Lamola "The General"?
Yesteryear football with snail pace, they wouldn't stand a chance in international football
Everywhere it was slow those days stop this negative energy of yours
They beat Argentina 5-0 the same Argentina squad went on to win World Cup.

Barcelona's tiki taka is slow with acceleration were necessary and the South African oldies played like that
Ace was a soccer ginias.
I am wondering what chase other races in football, like Indians and whites. Can someone explain it to me please.
