Ex-Pirates star’s career down in dumps
A source close to Thandani Ntshumayelo has told Phakaaathi that the former Orlando Pirates star doesn’t think there will be any team interested in him once his four-year ban from football ends after testing positive for taking drugs.

The midfielder tested positive for cocaine following a routine drug test after a Pirates and Platinum Stars game on January 9, 2016.
“The major thing here is that Bibo (as Ntshumayelo is affectionately known) is already 28-years old now and has been out of football for a while. So, he is honest with himself in terms of looking at his age, and that is why he has been busy concentrating on making a living from something that is outside football.
“He knows what he did was a mistake and has learned a lot from it, and in terms playing professional football again, he is doubtful about it,” said the source.
