Jimmy Tau Hangs Out With Controversial Football Legend

Jimmy Tau Hangs Out With Controversial Football Legend

Former Kaizer Chiefs and Orlando Pirates player turned pundit Jimmy Tau was seen hanging out with another legend from both clubs recently. Can you guess what they were doing?

It seems that Tau and Marks Maponyane have a lot in common. Both represented both Chiefs and Pirates during their footballing careers and now both are some of the most familiar faces in South African sport as they have become television football analysts.

However, it seems that they have even more in common than what one would think. Recently, Tau uploaded a photo of himself alongside the one-time Glamour Boys' top goalscorer to Instagram, and captioned it with the following: "Great catching up with the legend Mr Maponyane, he was my golf partner. #We won the comp with him."

Check it out!

Although Maponyane is a household name and considered to be one of the greatest footballers in South African history, he's also been no stranger to a controversial headline or two, particularly this year after allegations of domestic abuse in addition to other unsavoury acts.

However, it seems that his son, Masego "Maps" Maponyane, has taken on the duties of flying his family's name high, with the media personality doing quite well for himself in the entertainment industry and on his way, if not already, to becoming even more famous than his father.

At a time when Chiefs and Pirates are struggling for form and goals, and appear to be losing the glory that was once associated with the name of the clubs with each passing season, seeing these two players together would undoubtedly conjure some nostalgic emotions for their fans.

Do you think Chiefs and Pirates can get back to being the clubs they were back when Tau and Maponyane were still playing?
