It is almost every South African footballer’s dream to ply their trade abroad, whether in Europe or North America. However, not every player will reach the level where clubs abroad are clamouring for their signature. In other cases, the player is more than good enough to make it abroad, but the stars just don’t align, and a move never materialises. Those who do get to make it, especially at an early age, are expected to reach the highest of highs. Mamelodi Sundowns’ Themba Zwane recently revealed that he was ‘surprised’ by teammate Kobamelo Kodisang’s return to the Premier Soccer League.
