Banyana Banyana legend Mpumelelo "Mbuzi Skito" Nyandeni, who was recently recalled to the national team with the hope of reaching the milestone of 150 caps, is juggling between two permanent careers, coupling as a professional football star and a delivery driver.

At 8am she reports for work at a Johannesburg-based factory. Then after knocking off at 4pm, she hurries to her apartment, changes from work suits into sports gear and heads straight to training with her JVW FC teammates at 6.30pm.

With three mouths to feed back home in Dennilton, Mpumalanga, the 37-year-old midfield maestro says she has dedicated her time to her two jobs as her livelihood depends on that.
