After leaving Soweto giants Orlando Pirates in 2018, Ayanda Gcaba had a difficult career and could not find a home to settle at for a long period of time. Not much has been said about the 38-year-old over the last few years, with opportunities to play the game at a professional level proving hard to come by. He played for Platinum Stars, Royal AM and Jomo Cosmos following his departure from the Buccaneers and had an opportunity to work as a coach in the development at Randburg Football Club not so long ago but is currently not working as he waits to make his next move. Soccer Laduma’s Tshepang Mailwane tracked Gcaba down to talk about what’s been happening in his career over the last few years as he confirmed that he has not yet retired from the beautiful game.
Tshepang Mailwane: Hola Ayanda, thanks for making time to have a chat with Soccer Laduma. How is life going and what have you been up to?
Ayanda Gcaba: I am in Durban at the moment. I usually just come check up on the family and then go back to Joburg. For me, there is not much happening in Durban. It’s better in Joburg because you get to connect with people and just be busy. You get to watch games and you get to be in the surroundings of football and other stuff.
