Chiefs and Pirates legends to battle it out in Malamulele

Orlando Pirates and Kaizer Chiefs legends are set to grace Malamulele, Limpopo for the Tonic Chabalala annual games.

This will be the third edition hosted by the former Pirates captain in his home province. The 44-year-old invites Stars from the two PSL giants for an exhibition match.

This year will not be any different as Chabalala, through his foundation, will welcome the legends starting with a Gala Dinner.

There will also be local teams who will compete in a four-team tournament on Saturday and Sunday.

“We decided to start a tournament for the open [age] but on condition that five youngsters are on the pitch,” he told FARPost.

“I have also invited scouts to come and witness and identify talent. So my aim is also to see these boys scouted by different clubs around the country.

“The [Collins Chabane Municipality] Mayor Shadrack Maluleke will be there and other stakeholders.”

KAIZER CHIEFS LEGENDS:

Aubrey Mathibe, Rodney Thobejane, Morgan Gould, Mandla Masango, Reneilwe Letsholonyane, Doctor Khumalo, Siphiwe Tshabalala, David Radebe, Thabo Mooki and Pollen Ndlanya.

ORLANDO PIRATES LEGENDS:

Lucky Shiburi, Tonic Chabalala, Abednigo “Tsotsi No.1” Netshodwe, Innocent Chikoya, Daniel “Sailor” Tshabalala, Edelbert Dinha, Bennett Chenene, Steve Lekoelea, Collins Chabalala, Eugene Zwane, Tso Vilakazi, Tebogo Moloi and Katlego Mashego.

It will cost one person R 300 to be part of the Gala Dinner at Malamulele Community Hall on Friday. It will also cost R 70 to gain access to the Malamulele Stadium and watch the Legends on Sunday.

Chabalala, who retired in 2008, has held the Legend match for the past three years. He captained the Buccaneers when they reached the CAF Champions League semifinals in 2006.
