Big ups to Robert Marawa for your brilliant interviewing skills. It wasn't an easy interview, OJ wasn't really opening up, but the way you probed and kept the interview going must be applauded 👏👏
What I took out of this interview was a hint of Self entitlement and a bit of Victim mentality coming from Mabizela. The mistakes that he did were because of 'circumstances' of others....
Him and Benny was supposed to be included in the 2010 world cup squad. For me as country we were supposed to take them for separate training and extra trainings this guy was going to play the big under Carlos Parreira I believe so.🇿🇦🇿🇦🇿🇦
after watching this interview, i can now understand how hard things are for these players. its easier for us to be critical of them at the comfort of our seats but hearing what OJ is saying its really heartbreaking......all the best OJ
What I have gathered from this interview is: 1) He was under immense pressure 2) He was lonely as a youngster in a foreign country at a tender age 3) we the fans and media wanted more out of him and he disappointed the Nation 4) OJ still hasn't forgiven himself as he isn't wearing his shortcomings as a badge of honor 5) Being a Star is hardwork. People who aspire for stardom must know it comes with many sacrifices, you will lose your childhood, you have to be almost be like a robot, focus at performing at the highest level to keep the limelight. Development for me isn't only about Nuturing the talent or even physical aspect, its about psychology. Discipline is lacking in our sportsman, especially those that play football. I mean we could easily look at rugby and cricket, these sad stories aren't prevalent why? That's the big question! Also if you look at society as a whole we have a lot to deal with as blacks. All the best to him, he needs help though but mainly he needs to forgive himself.
I don't hear him taking responsibility for his actions but trying to find a scapegoat,he was distant for greatness but he chose alcohol. Great player he was at that time.
I fully agree. The only thing I took out of this interview is that, the occurrences that took place in his life was because of others and his surroundings. Yena he 'worked hard' but others had other motives to bring him down. Victim mentality.
One of the best player we ever had in mzansi....Mabizela was just a natural talent.. We all make mistakes in life and Mabizela was no exception...I mean the guy was just 22 years old when he played for tottenham....I have made countless mistakes at that age....some of then are irreversible.. I wish him the best in life, in whatever he is currently or planning to do..
Mmm this is so much painful,please guy any one can assist him to pull him from where his at because its seems like there is somthing went wrong by him,especially you Mr Robs if you can able to pull him to start again him legecy🤔🤔🤔🤔his our hero🤴
Mabizela uyisdakwa nje wahlulwa amambawu nothing else kwi media abaphuzisani tshwala moss, lento yokuthy wonke muntu yawenza maphutha ubukhotheni nje kwabona lobo, he was my role model ekwi pirates but wangiphoxa nje lomfo
Another thing that you should learn in life ukuthi abantu abaphileli ukujabulisa wena. It's a fact ukuthi wonke umuntu uyawenza amaphutha and afunde kuwona. Bese kuba khona loluhlobo olufana nawe who always judge. Imedia ibe nomthelela omubi kakhulu kwicareer yalensizwa, but akulula ukuthi kubonakale lokho kumuntu ocabanga agcine eduze njengawe. You are good in judging other people's life. Uwena owusikhotheni la. UMabizela ungcono kakhulu kunawe and he contributing a lot ekuthuthukiseni ibhola.
I think this was the hardest interview Robert Marrawa had to make.OG is honesty not into interviews he holds back and his tired of speaking openly Marrawa is trying so hard to get him talk but his not up to face the media...the media truly hurt OJ to his deepest heart. I feel for him
You know if only in life we can stand up as individuals and stop pointing fingers at other people for our downfalls, then we can take steps in the right direction.Yes it's so said to see such a great talent that went down the drain just like that but he wasn't the only player that the media's spotlight was on back then.The likes of Benni and others also had problems with the media but look where they are now so let these former players stop this thing of theirs to blame other people for their own bad ways that they practiced because of fame and money by then.
It’s so painful to see him and hear him saying the media crushed him.He was a damn good player imagine signing for Tottenham spurs at age 22.I’m a chief’s supporter but I loved watching him play.I can’t hold back my tears 😭
One thing men need to understand is the fact that they are alone especially in tough times. When a man is doing well in live he mostly gonna spend time with the pretenders (New friends, new girlfriend, etc) and during difficult times you won't find them anyway.
I feel very honoured to be working with this legend he is really doing a great job with our Academy boys at Talitha soccer academy I do believe that mzansi has not seen the last of him they will see another Oj from this boys.he does everything with dedication and commitment he is a good coach
Keep it up my brother i absolutely hear and understand him,those who never went through situation like him don't understand,on that age it's when you need parents from in and outside who will be with you even if you its unnecessary to you because you are still immature at that age.thanks keep up the good work bafowethu.
The greatest Footballer ever to come out of this Land by far, the talent, calmness, vision, positioning; comanding and that pass my Word the list is endless.OJ you really were great boet and its a pity it never worked out in the end.
he was not ready for this interview, he did not talk at all. sometimes people need you to own the truth so that eminye iminyango izovuleka empilweni yakho but all in all what a talented player
Its a blessing to have watched guys like Mbulelo play.... Just thinking about it now gives me chills. A teenager getting to the pro ranks, then getting to international football, getting to the EPL and having his level of confidence was just something else. I wonder if there really isn't any other talent or talent scouts and the game has changed?
He was just a great player but he must not blame the media ubephila impilo yobukhotheni and naye uyazi. Angalinge asole abantu ngobukhotheni bake, he must just humble himself abone amaphutha akhe.
This man is in so much pain, and he walks with it everyday of his life. It is going to be there and he will carry it forever, giving assistance won't help him - he only needs support and people to talk with. That's my two cents about this interview 🙌!
I like this guy. This is the best defender South 🇿🇦 has ever produced. Mabizele I wonder if you know how much you touched our hearts. You are a living legend.
NO offense I didn't finish the interview I'm so annoyed brother take the responsibility learn to understand in life mistakes are fact of life . it is the response to the error that counts .
Heal My Idol Heal. I Love You. You Inspire Me A Lot. The Best Defender I Have Ever Watched, Cool Calm And Collected, Insimbi Edle Ezinye . Ngifisa Ngathi I Could Shake Your Hand One Day. From A Young Man In The Townships Of Eswatini🇸🇿 I Pray You Find Peace Only Within Yourself. You Are Strong
How about you never maxed anything on life and now heading down six feet. I know for a fact how public corript people in the frontlines and then throw rocks from behind. If he was as we were to think he is stoll here looking good many dead and gone. Why we not expose all these idiots who smear everybody than pick on those working and sacrificing to keep us recreated.
Nope, Bill Gates dropped out of college, Mandela spent 27 years in jail with his law degree, Tambo was homeless with his law degree, Mohammad Ghandi a systemic bandit, Mark Twain a drop out in University and the list is endless to include Jesus in the grave. Hello, a guy got tired of the neighbour's goat eating his vegetables so he dug a ditch. True the goat fell in the ditch. As the man poured the dirt ontop of the goat to burry it alive, they goat shook off the dirt and stump it's feet. Very soon the goat got out of the grave. No matter what hater say shake it off and stump your feet. Even prison waders made fun of mandele make him crush stones but he came out, became president and invited one of them to his inauguration
Robert can start an interview at Point Z, then you will drive yourself to Point A. He starts by asking you the question that you think he will ask. But in a very strategic manner.
The reason why you feel so judged mjita is because football expected a lot from you because you were too talented, you would have played in any team in the world.😢😢😢 just admit your mistake within you my guy and get coaching license, your name still carries a lot of weight in football
OJ dude we love you, but please own your truth and let out...Rob was trying too hard to get you to own it but you held back, We under ukwadile and kakhulu vele but you have nothing to loose bro.
A life almost lived 🙏...But ,this is one of the greats the nation has ever produced...His life is an example that black young people need a mentorship from economics,fame , careers and life in general... however...He remains a legendary figure ⚽♥️✊...
Oh man he sounds just like my big brother who when I talk to him about his alcohol abuse and he would find excuses and he won't open up at all. He looks like he drinks alcohol instead of water.
One of the best we've ever produced.wish one team can give him a chance theres a lot that upcoming talents can learn from this maestro.we all make mistakes in this world.
Wena you were a national team captain and let us down, if you were an ordinary player ngabe asizange sibe nendaba nawe, waphuza your career, just man up and say it ubune stress wasikhiphela etshwaleni. No kid gloves interview Robert
Mabizela was in the limelight and automatically an expectation was around him. For most black footballers a lack of family support has a lot of neggative impact during their carreer.
This guy was so exciting to watch Rob, slow but sure, he is one of the best defenders I have watched for my beloved pirates, Mbulelo OJ Mabizela, I will always remember that thunderbolt for Tottenham, that was a scootcher👌
I pray that he let go of bad energy, be strong cause as soon as you out there and doing good, there's some people who are eagerly waiting for your downfall. Instead of uplifting, they'll say things about you which is painful and disturbing
Never let fame get to your head..u think people don't write things about Ronaldo or Messi?? Always learn to be level headed coz media will talk 👄 n there s nothing u can do about that..He is now a WAS PLAYER....shame
I hope the will be a day where OJ is willing to open up and really tell us what happened in his life, hopefully one day he will be ready to tell and own up to his story. Not this thing of just saying "amamistake enzeka off field" what mistakes, what was he doing really, was it drinking, what how when why with who etc.
when OJ says the media played a role, He means he was never protected and managed properly at that age he needed guidance the national team management failed him, his agent failed him and orlando pirates management failed him. sports people like Kobe have been involved in major scandals and their management teams protected them. its sad that we fail to manage talent who know nothing about the space they workin in besides playing the game.
@@Department_of_benny_the_benzo1 how do you protect a player who keeps on doing the same mistakes? to conclude that he was not protected is unfair. all his agent spoke out, he was the most difficult player to manage. he just needs to take responsibility and move on. great player though
Mbulelo Mabizela is not good when it comes to interviews, he doesn't open up and he make it hard for Robert Marawa to interview him. I respect him though....
What an exceptional player at his time, unfortunately he didn't achieve the standard that matched his talent, hopefully he can be given a platform somewhere to guide the current young players.
I don't hear him taking responsibility for his actions but trying to find a scapegoat,he was distant for greatness but he chose alcohol. Great player he was at that time.
Thank you for a great interview with one of the best players SA has ever produced. I wish he can remain in football and help the nation unearth more talented players like him. Good luck to OJ.
How much ownership must he take? He does account for his mistakes, his problem is that the media capitalized and zoomed in too much that any other players who had done similar mistakes.
@@som6577 take Junior Khanye, Jabu, Skapie, Lovers Mohlala, Lerato Shabangu to name a few, they don't blame other people for their short span careers, they are not evasive when questions are asked for example this guy won't even mention which media house, what did they say etc. By the way Bennie left SA below 22 and had a very successful career overseas, while OJ is making an excuse that he was 22 in a foreign country hence why he got derailed. This guy back while playing for pirates he was a party animal of note in Embali, and when you are a professional player you need to respect the job you doing so that it can respect you in return.
OJ at the level and the style you've put on our TV screens and those who had the privilege of watching you play Boy you are still 👌 the best... the media's job is to sell paper mfowethu you know your truth that's all that will matter
One of the greatest players sa ever produced, what a marvel to watch, maturity in his style of play and exceptional ability to read the game, woww bra old John we salute you, all the best for you in life and your family, you can't Change the past please just focus on what's ahead and keep on pushing and shinning
I share the same sentiment, how can you enjoy watching football whereby only one team dominates the whole premier league and nothing is done about it? PSL is boring no one challenges Sundowns, they all bite the dust.
He will go down in history as the greatest defender of all times, the OJ that we fell in love with fallball because of his art or craft in his defence. This makes me miss the old days watching him in the field.
I can’t even finish 5min ngoba this guys ufuna uRobert elokhu emgubha sengathi manje yonke into ingaye la emhlabeni mcm akofunda kuJunior Khanye ukuthi iside lestory sakho lithulwa kanjani😳😳
OJ Mabizela played and I enjoyed watching him display his football talent. Uyidlalile indima yakho mfanakithi, we all make mistakes, nobody was ever perfect. Carry on ngempilo yakho and may God give you the peace you deserve.
Izinja photoshopped a guy standing at the street lights and said it was Mabizela begging for money. This guy still drives a BMW. I'm not sure if it's 1 or 3 series but he still got his life going.
@@khazamulanwandule6812 what to look at him. Nkululeko rescued him. That's all that there is about Khanye. Without that platform and his dizzy analysis he would be living worse than Mabizela.
Another thing killing football in townships is drugs we have lost our youth to drugs and nobody is looking at the impact of that and how much football is suffering because of that.
Drugs is the biggest contributer,alcohol & women has always been there,a lot of boys live on the streets n smoke nyaope n crystal meth n our police & government r just watching.
We tend to understand estimate the power of opposing forces…. The voice of this gentleman, says a lot about stolen opportunities through different window. Life gives us opportunities which are not always forever. I see no failure from his distractions but a bigger lesson to us.
Most talented kid with no guidance would have been bigger than Lucas Radebe ,he was overwhelmed, too many whores and alcohol..... OJ what a player he was
I still maintain ukuthi for the 2010 FIFA World Cup, he and Frank Schoeman would have been my automatic CB pairing, with due respect to Aaron Mokoena and Bongani Khumalo
IsiZulu sithi kushaywa edonsayo... I dnt blame those who took it so high wth u. Th brand of football OJ came up with was incredible nd it gave every South African goose bumps nd we all wanted to see u succeed my brther... whatever happened was due to who you became at a time. U were big man, nd ever since there has never been a defender like u
Regardless of your mistakes you were a brilliant player. I was even close to you at time you played for Platinum stars. You were driving black car it was exciting to be next to you...
OJ doesn't smile, doesn't laugh, Expresses sadness and lookx down on the psl yet his a new coach in the psl. I see his coaching career ending in tears. Mr. Marawa professional interview once again.
Big ups to Robert Marawa for your brilliant interviewing skills. It wasn't an easy interview, OJ wasn't really opening up, but the way you probed and kept the interview going must be applauded 👏👏
What I took out of this interview was a hint of Self entitlement and a bit of Victim mentality coming from Mabizela. The mistakes that he did were because of 'circumstances' of others....

I don't care what nobody say but OJ is a hero to me especially being from pietermaritzburg.
#DAIPUNIVERSE
The Most Talented Defender to ever come out of S.A. The great OJ. Very emotional interview, May God bless Mabizela
after watching this interview, i can now understand how hard things are for these players. its easier for us to be critical of them at the comfort of our seats but hearing what OJ is saying its really heartbreaking......all the best OJ
What I have gathered from this interview is:
1) He was under immense pressure
2) He was lonely as a youngster in a foreign country at a tender age
3) we the fans and media wanted more out of him and he disappointed the Nation
4) OJ still hasn't forgiven himself as he isn't wearing his shortcomings as a badge of honor
5) Being a Star is hardwork. People who aspire for stardom must know it comes with many sacrifices, you will lose your childhood, you have to be almost be like a robot, focus at performing at the highest level to keep the limelight.
Development for me isn't only about Nuturing the talent or even physical aspect, its about psychology.
Discipline is lacking in our sportsman, especially those that play football. I mean we could easily look at rugby and cricket, these sad stories aren't prevalent why? That's the big question! Also if you look at society as a whole we have a lot to deal with as blacks.
All the best to him, he needs help though but mainly he needs to forgive himself.
Education levels also plays a big part.
We must become more friendly to our youngest's
and pay attention when see talent in them to understand encourage and displine in nice way
❤very true my good Sir, lifelong lessons I am hearing here, even outside football, there are lessons to be observed and taken to heart.
I don't hear him taking responsibility for his actions but trying to find a scapegoat,he was distant for greatness but he chose alcohol.
Great player he was at that time.
But he does admit his mistakes nje ...or ndim lo ungakwaziyo ukuba what does "taking responsibility " mean
True. He doesn't want to take any responsibility. Even though I do not like Junior Khanye but he never blamed anyone but himself
He admit his mistakes but yet he still blame media. We all know what media does and he had to be strong and makeup his life
I fully agree. The only thing I took out of this interview is that, the occurrences that took place in his life was because of others and his surroundings. Yena he 'worked hard' but others had other motives to bring him down. Victim mentality.
Very defensive too
One of the best player we ever had in mzansi....Mabizela was just a natural talent..
We all make mistakes in life and Mabizela was no exception...I mean the guy was just 22 years old when he played for tottenham....I have made countless mistakes at that age....some of then are irreversible..
I wish him the best in life, in whatever he is currently or planning to do..
Usawenza namanje ama mistakes surely akafundi or akafundanga kokwenzeka kulimala icareer yakhe. Uke wazanywa yi team yangapha ngaseNdumo wazoyiqeqesha. Waqhubeka nawo lawo ma mistakes, kuyimanje ukuTalita soccer academy, nakhona if ungake uthole abasondelene nayo leyo academy bayokutshela.
@@siyanxumalo4230 akayiyeke ibhola aqhubeke nomsangano wohlulekile
The pain in his voice 😭 what a broken man. May the good Lord bless him and his family
I feel that too
Mmm this is so much painful,please guy any one can assist him to pull him from where his at because its seems like there is somthing went wrong by him,especially you Mr Robs if you can able to pull him to start again him legecy🤔🤔🤔🤔his our hero🤴

This felt like a therapy session, there's pain on old John voice
Bro Rob please don't stop this podcast I have potential of becoming one of the greatest
It’s so painful to see him and hear him saying the media crushed him.He was a damn good player imagine signing for Tottenham spurs at age 22.I’m a chief’s supporter but I loved watching him play.I can’t hold back my tears 😭
Me too i couldnt hold my tears i have so much respect for old j

I feel very honoured to be working with this legend he is really doing a great job with our Academy boys at Talitha soccer academy I do believe that mzansi has not seen the last of him they will see another Oj from this boys.he does everything with dedication and commitment he is a good coach
Keep it up my brother i absolutely hear and understand him,those who never went through situation like him don't understand,on that age it's when you need parents from in and outside who will be with you even if you its unnecessary to you because you are still immature at that age.thanks keep up the good work bafowethu.

Lucas Radebe?
Thiago Silva reminds me of this guy
one of the greatest this country 👏 has ever seen
simply the best
Hadebe is the greatest. This guy is broke.

This man is in so much pain, and he walks with it everyday of his life.
It is going to be there and he will carry it forever, giving assistance won't help him - he only needs support and people to talk with.
That's my two cents about this interview 🙌!
For me I don't see any thing wrong. He talked nice respect full, nd nothing shows that was over control by alcohol
Robert Tried everything to get the answer. As much as it is a beautiful interview, OJ ddnt say much..
I like this guy. This is the best defender South 🇿🇦 has ever produced. Mabizele I wonder if you know how much you touched our hearts. You are a living legend.
no lie detected
Hadebe is the greatest. This guy is broke.
NO offense I didn't finish the interview I'm so annoyed brother take the responsibility

Buy land they not making it anymore said someone
Nope, Bill Gates dropped out of college, Mandela spent 27 years in jail with his law degree, Tambo was homeless with his law degree, Mohammad Ghandi a systemic bandit, Mark Twain a drop out in University and the list is endless to include Jesus in the grave.

Robert can start an interview at Point Z, then you will drive yourself to Point A.
He starts by asking you the question that you think he will ask. But in a very strategic manner.
Is always good to see and hear from the Legend OJ Mabizela.. we need his mind to change SA football ⚽️
The reason why you feel so judged mjita is because football expected a lot from you because you were too talented, you would have played in any team in the world.😢😢😢 just admit your mistake within you my guy and get coaching license, your name still carries a lot of weight in football
OJ dude we love you, but please own your truth and let out...Rob was trying too hard to get you to own it but you held back, We under ukwadile and kakhulu vele but you have nothing to loose bro.
Rob although I understand nguni as a nguni but would love subtitles with your interviews thank you grootman🙏
A life almost lived 🙏...But ,this is one of the greats the nation has ever produced...His life is an example that black young people need a mentorship from economics,fame , careers and life in general... however...He remains a legendary figure ⚽♥️✊...
South African players should learn to responsibility. This blame game is not taking us anywhere
Oh man he sounds just like my big brother who when I talk to him about his alcohol abuse and he would find excuses and he won't open up at all. He looks like he drinks alcohol instead of water.
Thank you Mr Rob for bringing him to the show, it is very inspiring and interesting. Please bring Happy Jele on studio
Best defender he should be giving knowledge of how to defend i really rate with the Chiellinies and Bonuccies of this World!!!!
One of the best we've ever produced.wish one team can give him a chance theres a lot that upcoming talents can learn from this maestro.we all make mistakes in this world.
Wena you were a national team captain and let us down, if you were an ordinary player ngabe asizange sibe nendaba nawe, waphuza your career, just man up and say it ubune stress wasikhiphela etshwaleni. No kid gloves interview Robert
Wazwisa ub,hlungu Mbulelo,ngzolunga it's not over until GOD says it's over😭💔
The greatest ever
Mabizela was in the limelight and automatically an expectation was around him. For most black footballers a lack of family support has a lot of neggative impact during their carreer.
Uyasangana lona wacindezelwa ngubani ngaphandle nje kwezidakamiswa
Subtitles next time bro Rob, i though he would accomodate everyone in Queen's lingo since he plied his trade in England previously.
This guy was so exciting to watch Rob, slow but sure, he is one of the best defenders I have watched for my beloved pirates, Mbulelo OJ Mabizela, I will always remember that thunderbolt for Tottenham, that was a scootcher👌
The best talent went to the DRAIN,WHAT A WASTED TALENT?
Awubandla lengane bayibethela ingenzanga lutho. Babi abantu
I pray that he let go of bad energy, be strong cause as soon as you out there and doing good, there's some people who are eagerly waiting for your downfall. Instead of uplifting, they'll say things about you which is painful and disturbing
Taking no responsibility at all but blaming others. Boet you played your part in destroying your career
One of the worlds best🔥
Siyabonga Mbulelo for all the joy you gave to us, Kapteni
Rob please hook this man with some opportunity I'm sure you have couple of them.... It breaks my heart seeing him this broken hearted💔
I fell in love with south African football through this man .what a legend
Same here
Who have to be blamed kahle Oj sasikuthanda wasphoxa media ayiphuzi
Never let fame get to your head..u think people don't write things about Ronaldo or Messi?? Always learn to be level headed coz media will talk 👄 n there s nothing u can do about that..He is now a WAS PLAYER....shame
I hope the will be a day where OJ is willing to open up and really tell us what happened in his life, hopefully one day he will be ready to tell and own up to his story. Not this thing of just saying "amamistake enzeka off field" what mistakes, what was he doing really, was it drinking, what how when why with who etc.
Respect the Legend but we have to own up and take responsibility for our actions. I hope the current generation is learning.
when OJ says the media played a role, He means he was never protected and managed properly at that age he needed guidance the national team management failed him, his agent failed him and orlando pirates management failed him. sports people like Kobe have been involved in major scandals and their management teams protected them. its sad that we fail to manage talent who know nothing about the space they workin in besides playing the game.
Yeah we don't protect players we must protect this young players too
@@Department_of_benny_the_benzo1 how do you protect a player who keeps on doing the same mistakes? to conclude that he was not protected is unfair. all his agent spoke out, he was the most difficult player to manage. he just needs to take responsibility and move on. great player though
He was thee best but now on #msw he shows no interest in telling the truth 🙄🙄
Robert the respect✊ l have for you 🔥🔥
MABIZELA .......SATAN OVERPOWED HIM..SO SAD
The closest to replace Mabizela is Ndah after all this years at Pirates. As for national team we are still waiting to find a replacement
Ay ay inkomo uNdah ku Oj khohlwa yagoqa
@@jabulanidlamini2189 spent more time watching soccer.
Ndah nkomo enje awu ngeke
Mbulelo Mabizela is not good when it comes to interviews, he doesn't open up and he make it hard for Robert Marawa to interview him. I respect him though....
Bringing back a school tournament ngenza mehluko mkhulu kabi.Good idea Mr old John
What an exceptional player at his time, unfortunately he didn't achieve the standard that matched his talent, hopefully he can be given a platform somewhere to guide the current young players.
I don't hear him taking responsibility for his actions but trying to find a scapegoat,he was distant for greatness but he chose alcohol.
Great player he was at that time.
Hi Rob nice interview I'd really love to come to your show and talk football. I'm 100% sure you'd be impressed.
Ngthanda IsiZulu sakho braa OJ
Pirates have some of the most technically gifted players ever in SA football. Mabizela and Leremi are case in point. #KBY
@Thebe, Gift was and will remain my best ever player 😭
Thank you for a great interview with one of the best players SA has ever produced. I wish he can remain in football and help the nation unearth more talented players like him. Good luck to OJ.
Eish engathi engalibona iphutha lakhe alungise
So OJ is blaming media for destroying his career?🙄no ownership at all from his side....yoooh
When someone die its normal to look someone to blame
How much ownership must he take? He does account for his mistakes, his problem is that the media capitalized and zoomed in too much that any other players who had done similar mistakes.
@@som6577 take Junior Khanye, Jabu, Skapie, Lovers Mohlala, Lerato Shabangu to name a few, they don't blame other people for their short span careers, they are not evasive when questions are asked for example this guy won't even mention which media house, what did they say etc. By the way Bennie left SA below 22 and had a very successful career overseas, while OJ is making an excuse that he was 22 in a foreign country hence why he got derailed. This guy back while playing for pirates he was a party animal of note in Embali, and when you are a professional player you need to respect the job you doing so that it can respect you in return.
@@selbyhlaise770 and this is what makes us not fight our real demons that keep following us... At least take even 60% of the blame.
The guy was a god given talent, people need to put themselves in his shoes and stop blaming his mistake his also human. Big up my under 12 striker.
OJ at the level and the style you've put on our TV screens and those who had the privilege of watching you play Boy you are still 👌 the best... the media's job is to sell paper mfowethu you know your truth that's all that will matter
This man was such a GREAT defender...god bless him.
One of the greatest players sa ever produced, what a marvel to watch, maturity in his style of play and exceptional ability to read the game, woww bra old John we salute you, all the best for you in life and your family, you can't Change the past please just focus on what's ahead and keep on pushing and shinning
I share the same sentiment, how can you enjoy watching football whereby only one team dominates the whole premier league and nothing is done about it? PSL is boring no one challenges Sundowns, they all bite the dust.
Great sense of purpose and perspective especially about where he wants to contribute. I hope his wishes come true and he's able to coach kids. 🙏
He will go down in history as the greatest defender of all times, the OJ that we fell in love with fallball because of his art or craft in his defence. This makes me miss the old days watching him in the field.
Bro Rob,how do I get that cap that’s on OJ?
I can’t even finish 5min ngoba this guys ufuna uRobert elokhu emgubha sengathi manje yonke into ingaye la emhlabeni mcm akofunda kuJunior Khanye ukuthi iside lestory sakho lithulwa kanjani😳😳
You are still my legend Old John
OJ Mabizela played and I enjoyed watching him display his football talent. Uyidlalile indima yakho mfanakithi, we all make mistakes, nobody was ever perfect. Carry on ngempilo yakho and may God give you the peace you deserve.
Izinja photoshopped a guy standing at the street lights and said it was Mabizela begging for money. This guy still drives a BMW. I'm not sure if it's 1 or 3 series but he still got his life going.
This is the media don't believe what you hear most times 💯 are fake news and do anything sell 💯
Stop this issue of discriminating players .KZN issue will not us here. Look at Junior Khanyi.
Will not assist us
@@khazamulanwandule6812 what to look at him. Nkululeko rescued him. That's all that there is about Khanye. Without that platform and his dizzy analysis he would be living worse than Mabizela.
Another thing killing football in townships is drugs we have lost our youth to drugs and nobody is looking at the impact of that and how much football is suffering because of that.
Drugs,alcohol and women alwyz perish talent
Drugs is the biggest contributer,alcohol & women has always been there,a lot of boys live on the streets n smoke nyaope n crystal meth n our police & government r just watching.
True but there is no other alternative like sport, akukho ngisho ibhola elilodwa ne racket ngeke uyithole.
Am with OJ on watching Psl it's really boring nam nje angsakhoni ukubuka shout out to the legend
Media really hurt this guy hence he was holding back many incidents...lets hope this interview was therapy for him....wishimg him well
We tend to understand estimate the power of opposing forces….
The voice of this gentleman, says a lot about stolen opportunities through different window.
Life gives us opportunities which are not always forever.
I see no failure from his distractions but a bigger lesson to us.
what a player he was, a legend
Please put up English subtitles need time. Would have loved to watch this
Oj needs to start opening up maybe he might end up been blessed like Junior Khanye.
Rob may God bless you, been wishing to hear that man speak out . Our very great OJ Mabizela. Wish you a second chance in life Nkunzi. 💯❤️
Sometimes lets not always blame others for our misfortunes
Most talented kid with no guidance would have been bigger than Lucas Radebe ,he was overwhelmed, too many whores and alcohol..... OJ what a player he was
I still maintain ukuthi for the 2010 FIFA World Cup, he and Frank Schoeman would have been my automatic CB pairing, with due respect to Aaron Mokoena and Bongani Khumalo
IsiZulu sithi kushaywa edonsayo...
I dnt blame those who took it so high wth u.
Th brand of football OJ came up with was incredible nd it gave every South African goose bumps nd we all wanted to see u succeed my brther... whatever happened was due to who you became at a time.
U were big man, nd ever since there has never been a defender like u
Regardless of your mistakes you were a brilliant player. I was even close to you at time you played for Platinum stars. You were driving black car it was exciting to be next to you...
OJ doesn't smile, doesn't laugh, Expresses sadness and lookx down on the psl yet his a new coach in the psl. I see his coaching career ending in tears.
Mr. Marawa professional interview once again.
