Siphiwe Tshabalala Reveals His All Time Best Chiefs Teammate

Earlier this year Shabba celebrate a decade with Chief which also means he has had the opportunity to play with different players and enjoy some pretty great teammate partnerships. Siphiwe Tshabalala reveals his all time best Chiefs teammate.

Although he didn’t like to have to choose, there’s one teammate that stands out for Shabba. “It’s difficult to single out one player. However, if I have to, playing with Thabo Mooki always meant a lot to me,” he told Chiefs’ official website.

“I used to watch him play at the annual Godfrey Moloi Goodwill Games. He was the star and I admired the way he played. Then, suddenly, at Chiefs, we were teammates, sitting in the same dressing room and playing together. On top of that, Thabo was very welcoming and really helped me to settle at the club,” he said.

The two went on to play eight seasons together at Chiefs and have remained friends through the years.

“We not only remained best friends, we are brothers. We get along well on and off the field and we are also business partners. We played together for Bafana Bafana too.”
