Former Orlando Pirates midfielder Bongani Cashibe has spoken about his wild ways off the pitch while at the top of his game.

Cashibe spoke of how wasteful he and teammate at the time Bennett Chenene was, while also chasing women in their spare time.

As reported in The South African, the 39-year-old was speaking in an interview with TK Solutions TV on Youtube as he reflected on his career. He said:

“There was a place in Alexandra, Bra Pat’s Tavern. That’s when I realised that I made it in life, [Bennett] Chenene and I had a bill. If we don’t have money, we’ll go to Bra Pat. We’d just say Bra Pat gives us alcohol for R2 000. We’d take alcohol home. It would be three bottles [spirits], savannahs and other things to put in the fridge for the fun times to begin.

With regards to their escapades with women, he said:

"We would enjoy Play Station, I was addicted to it but Chenene was not into it. We would drive to Pretoria. If not Pretoria, there was someone at UJ [University of Johannesburg]. If not UJ, we would drive to Randburg, you know? We had branches ”

The Daily Sun ran down a list of footballers who derailed their own careers with unsavoury antics when away from the fielding, including Jabu Mahlangu, Junior Khanye, Mbulelo Mabizela, Thabiso Malatsi and Lerato Chabangu, among others on a lengthy list.
