MAMELODI SUNDOWNS SIGNING OF THE DAY: JETHRO MOHLALA
Some footballers are loved for their personality as much as what they offer on the field. Jethro “Lovers” Mohala had it.
The Alexandra-born left-back dropped a famous description of himself in 2012. He told TimesLIVE:
“As a player it was frustrating at times because of treatment from some club officials but off the pitch I lived a good life. Football made me very famous and I enjoyed the attention I got from women. I was a kingpin of women.

“I was close to the Boom Shaka members, especially the late Lebo Mathosa and Mandla Spikiri and we used to party the night away. Wits bought me a brand-new car, a Mazda 626. The model of the car was so relevant to my life because I partied from six to six in the morning.
“It sounds very hectic, but I never missed training. I gave my all at training and during matches,” Mohlala added.
