Manti Mekoa on the other hand, joined The Ghost in 2012, alongside close friend Mpho Makola. They both joined from Free State Stars.

Both midfielders have remained close friends, despite Jali leaving for Europe all those years ago. It seems that they built a strong camaraderie when they shared a dressing room together.

His accolades at the club include three league titles, a Telkom Knockout trophy and a Nedbank Cup trophy. He will likely be a starter as Mamelodi Sundowns play Cape Town City in the MTN 8 final tomorrow night.

Manti Mekoa on the other hand has had a more modest twilight to his career. He currently plays for Cape Umoya in the GladAfrica Championship.

He is 36 years old, which means that retirement is on the horizon for him.  Former Orlando Pirates Midfielders Andile Jali And Manti Mekoa Link Up!
