Njabulo Ngcobo was the talk of the Twitter timeline, for positive reasons this time, after a solid performance against Richards Bay and a surprising apology during his post-match interview.
Let's take a look...
What's the story?
Ngcobo delivered a solid Man of the Match display against Richards Bay during Chiefs' 1-0 win at a sold-out Moses Mabhida.
Fans were quick to storm the Twitter timeline to praise Ngcobo for his performance, which came with a much-needed clean sheet, and they also reassured Ngcobo who apologised again for his touchline outburst against Golden Arrows last season.

Let's take a closer look at what the fans had to say about Ngcobo:
Twitter reactions
As mentioned, The Glamour Boys earned a victory and clean sheet against Richards Bay on Saturday. A confidence-boosting win after a 4-0 drubbing from Masandawana.
Ngcobo produced a warrior-like performance for the numerically disadvantaged side and it's fair to say he's come a long way after his ugly outburst during the back-end of last season
The fans commented on both his brilliant showing and his second apology.

What’s most important is how he takes accountability & bounces back. I’ve always been an admirer of his talent from the day I first watched him play for Uthongathi. Njabulo Ngcobo is one of the best defenders I’ve seen in recent years. Congratulations Roadblock,keep it up ??????? pic.twitter.com/JyztK4yTSU
