Quotes
I'm very cognisant of the fact I'm very lucky and the fact that brands do not see me as a former footballer, but as a businessperson, a person that they can invest their money in.
This is something that I worked hard to get to and now that I'm here, I can't be complaining. This is what I enjoy doing, I don't mind it at all.
In football, we all know that I was very comfortable and very confident.
But from a personal point of view, I wasn't content with myself, and I didn't like myself as much
As you mature as a man, you let go of certain things. You know, I let go of being scared to talk to the media or disliking the media
Yeah, man, it was just a journey that was very difficult because you need to unlearn all the bad habits.
But it's a journey that actually took me years to be able to sit down with you and come and speak to you.
But once I started liking myself more, not taking myself too seriously, my walls started falling down a little bit.
I'm more open now, more receptive of the fact that I need to speak to the media – I have to – I'm part of the media.

And I’m still proud and happy that I was offered the jersey. But it came at a wrong time
I think if that jersey came earlier, I would have loved to wear that number. It’s a very iconic number at Orlando Pirates
