Jele has been clubless for nearly a year after parting ways with Royal AM in June last year.
Since then, the 37-year-old has occupied various ambassadorial roles, which was an indication of the direction his career would be taking as his playing days winds down.
However, it came as a shock last weekend when Jele featured in the colours of AT Mambas in Pretoria. Initial thoughts was that Jele had signed for the popular outfit which houses figures like Xolani 'Blackberry' Nkala and Tshepo 'Skhwama' Matete, but a source close to the kasi outfit has provided clarity on the matter.
"It was more like an exhibition match. You know Happy is a loved figure in South African football, so it was a lovely surprise for the supporters of Mambas to see a legend represent their team. The funny thing is that this guy can still play at the highest level, which was evident in the match," the source said.
Jele made just four appearances in all competitions for Thwihli Thwahla last season.
