Stellenbosch defender Asavela Mbekile says he never imagined he would ever lift the Caf Champions League trophy in his career, after tasting success with Mamelodi Sundowns in 2016.
The former Masandawana utility player looked back at his career and explained that playing for the Brazilians was a distant dream for him, and that he would always be grateful for his success at Chloorkop.
Having played for Moroka Swallows, Chippa United, and Orlando Pirates, ‘Shoes’ also shared advice to youngsters, saying injuries are part of the game and talent alone doesn't determine a successful career.
