‘I was saved by the church’ – Former Chiefs star

The former Kaizer Chiefs attacker – Junior Khanye – knows all about the reckless lifestyle of a professional footballer in this country.


 

JUNIOR KHANYE AT KAIZER CHIEFS
After famously replacing the ill-disciplined Jabu Pule in the Chiefs team, the 17-year-old Khanye soon followed the same path of alcohol destruction and disorder.

Speaking on the SittingWithStan show in recent days, Khanye revealed how the drink led him to 15 car accidents during his peak fame at Amakhosi.

“I was saved by the church, I won’t lie” Khanye said.

“I went into church after 15 car accidents. Nine with the same car.

“I’m not ashamed to say that. The last one turned over. I had an injury for one year and three months. I think it was 2012. I was driven with a friend heavily drunk and blacked-out,” the Daveyton-born star added.

“Chelsin Kolbe is a fighter, i think he felt like he let us down there for a minute. We are unreservedly proud of him, our champion,” one person said while another added:

“There’s certain things you can’t fake as a person, and one thing that’s been consistent with Siya, is that he cares man. He shows he cares.”

Played your hearts out’: Prince Kaybee’s touching message to All Blacks

From the start of the World Cup, South African musician Prince Kaybee — real name Kabelo Motsamai — made it clear that he was not backing the Springboks but rather New Zealand’s All Blacks. Like the millions of other All Black fans who watched the springboks snatch the World Cup with just one point, he has headed online to share some words of encouragement with the team.


 

 

As expected, his fellow South Africans have blasted him for having no loyalty to the country by supporting the opposition.While the majority of South Africa is currently hungover from last night’s celebrations of the Springboks World Cup victory, not everyone is happy.

All Black fans are left to take in the fact that the cup is once again in the Springboks hands.
