Big flop Siphelele Mthembu

Over the years SA has produced players that where billed as a future stars, instead they became big time failures. South Africa has its fair share of good promising players but most of those players have been promising for more than five years, and so far there’s no evidence of a good player. Some have not even been considered for the national team but they still billed as promising. Some are said to be promising youngsters, and are still promising youngsters at the age of 24, really now, how can you be a youngster when you already have a wife and child. One such player is the still “promising” Siphelele Mthembu. Mthembu was once in the books of Kaizer Chiefs and Orlando Pirates with a lot of controversy. Both these big clubs where involved in a “dog fight over the youngster, at the time he was 19, who was unsure of where his home is. Eventually he signed for pirates but now where is he on the soccer circuit; he was just a big flop. Another big flop was talented and tricky midfielder, Masibusani Zongo. This player is blessed with natural raw talent, he’s got skill, pace, and vision, but lacks discipline. That discipline is the reason why he is still a promising instead of a great player. However there are players who are currently living up to expectation. Stars like Siyanda Xulu, Mandla Masngo, Thulani Serero, and the list goes on. I just hope they don’t disappear into the wilderness
