He was one of the most lethal finishers in the DStv Premiership during his time at Orlando Pirates — a striker whose movement, composure and eye for goal made him a firm favourite at the Orlando Stadium. Now, as Tshegofatso Mabasa stands on the threshold of an exciting new chapter in his football career, he sits down for a conversation that goes well beyond the goals and the glory.
In this candid and wide-ranging interview, Mabasa shares his honest assessment of the current Bafana Bafana World Cup squad — who has impressed him, what the team needs, and what it will take for South Africa to make a real mark on the global stage. But perhaps most powerfully, he opens up about a subject that South African football has too often shied away from: the mental wellbeing of players, and why more needs to be done to support those who carry the weight of public expectation both on and off the pitch.
