I was very privileged to see the Legendary Nelson Teenega Dladla. It was in the late 70's or early 80's that Kaizer Chiefs came to play at the Windhoek Show grounds. All Chiefs Legends were present. As a Coloured boy at the time Jan Malombo Lechaba was the guy that I touched after the game All players was my heroes that time. I also became a prominent player in our Namibian Premier league

A dribbling wizard,all these guys you are interviewing had passion,love and they were so tricky in the field,angazi ngingathini,when they were displaying different skills,eversince their departure,soccer diminished. You know why,because of the Anc government. The schools were used to have tournaments,and this government destroyed all that,they even destroyed morning and afternoon assembles,that is why children are so rude and hitting teachers.

Teenage Dladla. Awu madoda. I was a child but I remember his game. Him and Ace Ntsoelengwe influenced Doctor Khumalo. You could see that.

Arguably the greatest player South Africa has ever produced 👏

This dribbling from the back and scoring was his thing. He did this while playing for Tlakula High School against Katlehong High at Mosikili ground, but the fans invaded the pitch and force the referee to reverse the goal. He told the referee to disallow the goal. He was kicked left right and centre, but he dribble the K1 defenders. He did the same thing again dribbling from the back and scored. Tlakula won 5-1.

Wise words from the legend, I feel sorry for those who never got the opportunity to this guy and others in action. I was a previledge and honour to watch them

Well said Magic Man. The legendary Botsotso 😊

I was 6 when Teenage and company won big in 1984. Samora Khulu, Aaron Nkosi, Chippa Molatedi, Peta Balac, Marks Maponyane, Trevor Mthimkhulu. Those were the years I do speak to City Mawethu Kole sometimes

Oohhho, what an interview! This is the one guy who never disappoint, and this interview has now elevanted him the highest pinacle. You'd think it's rehearsed. Hundred percent Teenage, and the best fir your family, from s staunch Khosi like you. I could see the resp3ct you have for the late Ace. Indeed you and him were llke twins in the field of play. Be Blessed my Brother.

I like the views of Teenage;; first growing up as a boy;; having tennis ball in his pocket;; training with Ace as young boys ;; the talent needs to be developed and nurtured;; so i hope the present players are watching this and they are learning;; lastly soccer bosses must learn to believe in the black coaches and use them ;; this is good advice

Ooh oh what's unforgettable legends😊

My favourite player of all time

The greatest SA dribbler
