Mntambo lauds Orlando Pirates captain Jele: Fourteen years no child’s play but milestone

Orlando Pirates central midfielder Linda Mntambo has praised club captain Happy Jele's leadership qualities and longevity.

Jele is the longest-serving player in the current Bucs team, having joined the Soweto giants from lower division side Walter Stars in 2006.

The player nicknamed 'Magents' made his Pirates debut against Maritzburg United in August 2006 and never looked back.
