However, many do not know that the former tough tackler had actually been at the Amakhosi youth ranks and quite literally escaped before finding his way to the KwaZulu-Natal outfit. He was speaking to journalists at the official launch of the Siyabonga Sangweni Sports Complex in Dondotha, KZN on Saturday.With guys like Jabu Pule and Kubheka, we were part of the group that was going to be promoted.
"So, I called them to come to fetch me. They came to Joburg and sneaked me out at night."They eventually saw me again at Golden Arrows and they did even speak up to say, 'Hey, that’s our player', but it was too late. They were still giving me R200 to buy soap."In what was a case of déjà vu, Amakhosi yet again lost out on Sangweni's services in 2010.
