"I have signed a two-year deal. I am excited and looking forward to the new season. It's always been my dream to return to the professional game. I am grateful to TTM for giving me another opportunity to play in the GladAfrica Championship."

He also added that TTM had been the only team to show interest in him, with Stars having just spoken to him and his representatives with no intentions of advancing matters.

Watch: Xolani "Blackberry" Nkala shows off dancing 'Kasi Flava' with the ball, referee blows a foul for skills

Those who watched it at the venue and at home can claim to have finally seen it all on a football pitch.

As reported by Sports Brief, magician Xolani "Blackberry" Nkala displayed a unique form of 'kasi flava' for his team Mambas FC against Free Agents in the DStv Ekasi Champ Of Champs tournament in Meadowlands, Soweto. Nkala stopped after receiveing the ball, lifted it up into his thighs and started performing the 'Zekethe' dance, to the pleasure of the spectators.

However, the referee was not impressed, awarding an indirect free-kick.
