In Touch With... Raymond Monama

Unattached (Part 2)

- 

Carlo, good to have you back for Part 2. We are looking forward to more stories that will have us forgetting about our troubles for a moment.

Sure, let’s do this again.

What do you have for us?

Ha, ha, ha. You remember last week I was telling you about Azwindini Maphaha? Well, I played with another crazy goalkeeper at Platinum Stars. The person I am talking about is Mbongeni Mzimela. There is no one funnier than that guy in South Africa.

Ha, ha, ha, you reckon?

He is a very serious guy and you’d think that he was working as a police officer at night, because when we were training in the morning, he would sleep against the pole. He was always tired in the morning. We kept asking ourselves if this guy worked as a policeman overnight because he was always tired. If the ball was not coming to him, he would sleep against the upright. So, we would wake him up and just laugh about it. That guy was a legend, I tell you, ha, ha, ha.

We can imagine that there is so much more Mzimela did if he was such a funny guy to have around.

There was this one day after training where we decided to go to Sun City. So, we are driving there in his car, but on the way there, we get stopped by the traffic cops and they asked him for his licence.

Licence, please, Sir!
