The story

Happy Jele helped a die-hard Orlando Pirates supporter enjoy Saturday's derby win in true VIP fashion, courtesy of Vodacom.

The elderly superfan, known as Ntate Leonard, was fetched by Jele and Vodacom from his home to witness the derby live at a sold-out FNB Stadium, where the Buccaneers emerged victorious in a come-from-behind 2-1 victory.

There's a TikTok video circulating online of Jele surprising Ntate Leonard, with the two embracing like long-lost friends before breaking out into song.

The Vodacom Soccer Twitter/X page shared footage of Leonard arriving at the Red Suite Experience, dressed in Pirates' Away kit and taking in the awe-inspiring Stadium views.
