KAIZER CHIEFS TRANSFER OF THE DAY
Today’s featured transfer is a player that is probably loved as much as the great Doctor “16V” Khumalo by Amakhosi fans.
Any quick guess? We are talking about Asanda Emmanuel “Scara” Ngobese. With great height and very silky technical ability, Amakhosi fans just could not resist the “Black Jesus.”

Ngobese, born in Katlehong, Gauteng, arrived in 2004 from AmaZulu aged 24.
The Glamour Boys have had hundreds of skilful players that have come and gone, but what was so special about Ngobese? Well, some players are skilful but not many can surprise a packed stadium with the nerve to skilfully pause play as Ngobese did.

SCARA NGOBESE DEATH
Ngobese’s career at Naturena only lasted three seasons before he returned to AmaZulu in 2007. His gold medals included the PSL title, Telkom Knockout (X2), Absa Cup, and SAA Supa8.
Ngobese later left AmaZulu for Thanda Royal Zulu before his final club United FC in the lower division.
11 May 2010 was the day Ngobese succumbed to Tuberculosis (TB) at the age of 29 in Johannesburg.
May his Soul Rest Peace.
Check out some of his highlights here on YouTube.
