Junaid Hartley on fame and fortune, being homeless and drug addiction and turning his life around.

In this honest interview, ‘Magic Feet’ Hartley talks about the trappings of fame and fortune as a young football superstar, how he got hooked on drugs that left him as a beggar and homeless on the streets, the influence of people like Japie Motale, Steve Komphela and Pitso Mosimane and how he turned his life around.

I like the way he narrated the quality he was among at Pirates and the way he closed it off with naming Lebo Joseph Ngake. Good to hear from Junaid Hartley...

Junaid great and best player God bless you man

[@maxwellmajam4236]

Good story,a must for everyone to listen to and share

[@joeyhank212]

First and foremost , only through the Almighty is this possible. My heart smiles at this and its been a journey. Im more proud of Junaid for not only overcoming this but also fully understanding where the trauma starts and what needed to be done to overcome this. We have so many young and older men who are still caught in trauma and will continue on the destructive perpetual patterns. Only by adressing the core issues is one able to heal and become a concious and authentic man fully responsible and accountable for your actions.

[@shanemoyce6961]

Praise be to The Almighty for His restoration. Good luck Junaid, stay positive & humble, your testimony will change lives. All the best to you & your family for the future 🙏🏽

[@godfreysampson6432]

Junaid I like your honesty, your humour , your drive , ambition and your wisdom. I like the analogy of the letter I in the words life and risk - how important it is to believe in oneself and back it up with a strong work ethic. I wish you well and success in your life. Your story is an inspiration for others. Gods richest blessings to you and your family.
