In 2001, Chiefs faced Inter Clube Luanda, an Angolan team, at home. Patrick Mabedi scored the game’s winning penalty kick.

And shortly after the goal, Muhsin Ertugral, the coach at the time, introduced Khumalo, who was a player and coach at the same time.

The Amakhosi tradition states that Khumalo’s first touch was a spy-two to a Luanda player, and one fan passed out in the stands in celebration of that show of brilliance.

The Chiefs management would notify Khumalo of the fan’s passing the next day, and the whole team was required to visit the fan’s family in the Vaal.

Khumalo said on SABC Sport TV, “We had only 16 players when we played that Mandela Cup, and we were only 14 players when we played in the final, and I was a player/coach.”

“We were playing a squad from Angola, and Mabedi scored the goal. The penalty shot sealed the deal. Then, Muhsin stated, “Doc, just go in there and do your thing.”

I continued then, since I had the chance. First touch, spy-two, under the legs, but the sad thing is that spy-two caused the death of one of the fans.

“He was having fun until he passed out. The next day, I received a call from the workplace indicating that the friend had died as a result of that second spy.

Khumalo continued, “So we had to go to the grieving family in the Vaal.”

Having won the 2001 Mandela Cup with Chiefs and the 1996 Africa Cup of Nations (AFCON) with Bafana Bafana, Khumalo is unquestionably a legend of African football in his own right.
