The story

Bafana Bafana legendary striker, Siyabonga "Bhele" Nomvethe has kicked-off his new journey as an actor on "Uzalo," a popular SABC 1 soapie that's set in his hometown of KwaMashu.

Bhele graced our TV screens for the first time on Thursday evening, and is playing himself in a role that's set for a year, where he'll collaborate with Njinji (Thembi Nyandeni's team) in coaching her club, KwaMashu FC.

It's quite fitting for the PSL's all-time top goalscorer to start his acting journey on a show set in his native KwaMashu and a story line that's centred around football. 

The former AmaZulu, Kaizer Chiefs, Aalborg BK, and Udinese striker took to Instagram to reflect on his first steps into acting:

"Who knew soccer players could act. It was fun and exciting to take part in @uzalo_sabc1 and I cant wait for everyone to see what comes next.
