Big ups to Robert Marawa for your brilliant interviewing skills. It wasn't an easy interview, OJ wasn't really opening up, but the way you probed and kept the interview going must be applauded 👏👏
What I took out of this interview was a hint of Self entitlement and a bit of Victim mentality coming from Mabizela. The mistakes that he did were because of 'circumstances' of others....
Mmm this is so much painful,please guy any one can assist him to pull him from where his at because its seems like there is somthing went wrong by him,especially you Mr Robs if you can able to pull him to start again him legecy🤔🤔🤔🤔his our hero🤴
after watching this interview, i can now understand how hard things are for these players. its easier for us to be critical of them at the comfort of our seats but hearing what OJ is saying its really heartbreaking......all the best OJ
One of the best player we ever had in mzansi....Mabizela was just a natural talent.. We all make mistakes in life and Mabizela was no exception...I mean the guy was just 22 years old when he played for tottenham....I have made countless mistakes at that age....some of then are irreversible.. I wish him the best in life, in whatever he is currently or planning to do..
Him and Benny was supposed to be included in the 2010 world cup squad. For me as country we were supposed to take them for separate training and extra trainings this guy was going to play the big under Carlos Parreira I believe so.🇿🇦🇿🇦🇿🇦
I think this was the hardest interview Robert Marrawa had to make.OG is honesty not into interviews he holds back and his tired of speaking openly Marrawa is trying so hard to get him talk but his not up to face the media...the media truly hurt OJ to his deepest heart. I feel for him
What I have gathered from this interview is: 1) He was under immense pressure 2) He was lonely as a youngster in a foreign country at a tender age 3) we the fans and media wanted more out of him and he disappointed the Nation 4) OJ still hasn't forgiven himself as he isn't wearing his shortcomings as a badge of honor 5) Being a Star is hardwork. People who aspire for stardom must know it comes with many sacrifices, you will lose your childhood, you have to be almost be like a robot, focus at performing at the highest level to keep the limelight. Development for me isn't only about Nuturing the talent or even physical aspect, its about psychology. Discipline is lacking in our sportsman, especially those that play football. I mean we could easily look at rugby and cricket, these sad stories aren't prevalent why? That's the big question! Also if you look at society as a whole we have a lot to deal with as blacks. All the best to him, he needs help though but mainly he needs to forgive himself.
It’s so painful to see him and hear him saying the media crushed him.He was a damn good player imagine signing for Tottenham spurs at age 22.I’m a chief’s supporter but I loved watching him play.I can’t hold back my tears 😭
I feel very honoured to be working with this legend he is really doing a great job with our Academy boys at Talitha soccer academy I do believe that mzansi has not seen the last of him they will see another Oj from this boys.he does everything with dedication and commitment he is a good coach
Keep it up my brother i absolutely hear and understand him,those who never went through situation like him don't understand,on that age it's when you need parents from in and outside who will be with you even if you its unnecessary to you because you are still immature at that age.thanks keep up the good work bafowethu.
I don't hear him taking responsibility for his actions but trying to find a scapegoat,he was distant for greatness but he chose alcohol. Great player he was at that time.
I fully agree. The only thing I took out of this interview is that, the occurrences that took place in his life was because of others and his surroundings. Yena he 'worked hard' but others had other motives to bring him down. Victim mentality.
I like this guy. This is the best defender South 🇿🇦 has ever produced. Mabizele I wonder if you know how much you touched our hearts. You are a living legend.
This man is in so much pain, and he walks with it everyday of his life. It is going to be there and he will carry it forever, giving assistance won't help him - he only needs support and people to talk with. That's my two cents about this interview 🙌!
Its a blessing to have watched guys like Mbulelo play.... Just thinking about it now gives me chills. A teenager getting to the pro ranks, then getting to international football, getting to the EPL and having his level of confidence was just something else. I wonder if there really isn't any other talent or talent scouts and the game has changed?
The greatest Footballer ever to come out of this Land by far, the talent, calmness, vision, positioning; comanding and that pass my Word the list is endless.OJ you really were great boet and its a pity it never worked out in the end.
Thank you for a great interview with one of the best players SA has ever produced. I wish he can remain in football and help the nation unearth more talented players like him. Good luck to OJ.
A life almost lived 🙏...But ,this is one of the greats the nation has ever produced...His life is an example that black young people need a mentorship from economics,fame , careers and life in general... however...He remains a legendary figure ⚽♥️✊...
You know if only in life we can stand up as individuals and stop pointing fingers at other people for our downfalls, then we can take steps in the right direction.Yes it's so said to see such a great talent that went down the drain just like that but he wasn't the only player that the media's spotlight was on back then.The likes of Benni and others also had problems with the media but look where they are now so let these former players stop this thing of theirs to blame other people for their own bad ways that they practiced because of fame and money by then.
One of the greatest players sa ever produced, what a marvel to watch, maturity in his style of play and exceptional ability to read the game, woww bra old John we salute you, all the best for you in life and your family, you can't Change the past please just focus on what's ahead and keep on pushing and shinning
We tend to understand estimate the power of opposing forces…. The voice of this gentleman, says a lot about stolen opportunities through different window. Life gives us opportunities which are not always forever. I see no failure from his distractions but a bigger lesson to us.
OJ Mabizela played and I enjoyed watching him display his football talent. Uyidlalile indima yakho mfanakithi, we all make mistakes, nobody was ever perfect. Carry on ngempilo yakho and may God give you the peace you deserve.
One of the best we've ever produced.wish one team can give him a chance theres a lot that upcoming talents can learn from this maestro.we all make mistakes in this world.
He will go down in history as the greatest defender of all times, the OJ that we fell in love with fallball because of his art or craft in his defence. This makes me miss the old days watching him in the field.
He made defending looked very easy, could play anywhere at the back and also slotted easily in midfield as an anchor, effective with both feet, could pass long and short, the only South African defender I saw that didn't kick the ball out when under pressure or going for the so called "Safety First defending rule". His tackles were clean and well timed, I'm glad I watched him playing for my beloved Orlando Pirates. ☠️☠️ Scored a scorched on his Debut for Tottenham, I remember him scoring a brace for Bafana Bafana playing as a midfielder in Bloemfontein, one of his goal was similar to the one he scored for Spurs. A Genius and a Legend 👏 .... Wishing him Peace
I'm emotional as I'm watching this it reminds me of " I blew it " I really feel for him he needed mentors unfortunately he didn't got one this is really sad 😭 I'm wondering where were the parents just saying 🤷 wish him all the best 🙌 in future
This guy was so exciting to watch Rob, slow but sure, he is one of the best defenders I have watched for my beloved pirates, Mbulelo OJ Mabizela, I will always remember that thunderbolt for Tottenham, that was a scootcher👌
One thing men need to understand is the fact that they are alone especially in tough times. When a man is doing well in live he mostly gonna spend time with the pretenders (New friends, new girlfriend, etc) and during difficult times you won't find them anyway.
Misconception. You need people but not just anyone. When you find honest and loving community, there’ll be there with you nomatter the ups and downs. However if you collect “friends” who are after your money, you’ll enjoy it for a short period. Men need to learn to choose wisely and remain accountable. 😊 I know too many women who’ve stuck with men who are down and out. Stop this false narrative.
For me OJ was one of the best talents I have witnessed...the game changer in terms of defending...thina sasazi ukuthi if your attacked Mele ibhola ulishaye but OJ ubelidlala in dengerous areas ....mina I salute OJ usibonisile great football
Hey Rob thanx for bringing this man I always wonder about him and have question of what was going on with him also where is him now. But now hearing how did he feels and accept his mistake now I understand that something needs to be done to younger players when they get to the big league to guide them. To you OJ it may seemed to be an attack to you but it was all caused by the quality and ability of a player you were that time to be honest there is still no player like you yet. So please bro do us a favour by educate young players through your expirience on and off field it can be helpfully!!!
My Name is Thulasizwe Mthembu from PMB for me to see my legend OJ its makes me happy i will respect OJ till i die no one will be like him Mabizela uyindoda Bru kwazi nje lokho 💕💕💕 No one is perfect in this world.
Heal My Idol Heal. I Love You. You Inspire Me A Lot. The Best Defender I Have Ever Watched, Cool Calm And Collected, Insimbi Edle Ezinye . Ngifisa Ngathi I Could Shake Your Hand One Day. From A Young Man In The Townships Of Eswatini🇸🇿 I Pray You Find Peace Only Within Yourself. You Are Strong
Robert can start an interview at Point Z, then you will drive yourself to Point A. He starts by asking you the question that you think he will ask. But in a very strategic manner.
What an exceptional player at his time, unfortunately he didn't achieve the standard that matched his talent, hopefully he can be given a platform somewhere to guide the current young players.
OJ doesn't smile, doesn't laugh, Expresses sadness and lookx down on the psl yet his a new coach in the psl. I see his coaching career ending in tears. Mr. Marawa professional interview once again.
I pray that he let go of bad energy, be strong cause as soon as you out there and doing good, there's some people who are eagerly waiting for your downfall. Instead of uplifting, they'll say things about you which is painful and disturbing
OJ at the level and the style you've put on our TV screens and those who had the privilege of watching you play Boy you are still 👌 the best... the media's job is to sell paper mfowethu you know your truth that's all that will matter
We're all humans & imperfect. The media broke this legend without having any repercussion on his own well being. Again when you are black famous, rich, making it in life with the talent that 1 posses. They come for you. Being black is hard.
Hi Robert, as a Coach and an independent researcher I have always wished for a debate regarding the development of our sports, football to be precise , so after listening to this interview from such a high profile footballer feel that there's a lot that we really need to work on , starting with the coaching lisences, growth and development indicators, training methods , the state of minds , retirement plans, career transition etc are some of the issues we need to look into , thanks
How about you never maxed anything on life and now heading down six feet. I know for a fact how public corript people in the frontlines and then throw rocks from behind. If he was as we were to think he is stoll here looking good many dead and gone. Why we not expose all these idiots who smear everybody than pick on those working and sacrificing to keep us recreated.
Nope, Bill Gates dropped out of college, Mandela spent 27 years in jail with his law degree, Tambo was homeless with his law degree, Mohammad Ghandi a systemic bandit, Mark Twain a drop out in University and the list is endless to include Jesus in the grave. Hello, a guy got tired of the neighbour's goat eating his vegetables so he dug a ditch. True the goat fell in the ditch. As the man poured the dirt ontop of the goat to burry it alive, they goat shook off the dirt and stump it's feet. Very soon the goat got out of the grave. No matter what hater say shake it off and stump your feet. Even prison waders made fun of mandele make him crush stones but he came out, became president and invited one of them to his inauguration
The way our country is so unfair to the victims is so wrong especially like the humble guy he has done his mistakes and lets support him to save whatever he has left with not to crush him while he is on his knees
I like the way you through the questions to this Guy. I still feel like he ow us, South African football is lacking because of his carelessness. Talented, God Given. Mabizela were something else on the field. The guy was supposed to share his knowledge to our youngsters.😭😭😭
SupaMega said it " I have heard it all before, they build you up and bring you down like the Berlin Wall". Qina njalo mfokaMabizela ekhaya babheke wena. Congrats grootman Robert on the new UA-cam 🍾channel it's about time ⚽️⚽️⚽️
We forget these are young boys who are excited in showing off their talents and being young they need mentors who will guide them and act as a parent rather then allowing them to be destroted by media, because media is capable of building you and also breaking you. He is not perfect, he might have made foolish decision, but we all do make mistakes in life in order to grow. I see anger and hurt when l listen to him. Thank you Rob for handling the interview with grace
he was not ready for this interview, he did not talk at all. sometimes people need you to own the truth so that eminye iminyango izovuleka empilweni yakho but all in all what a talented player
OJ dude we love you, but please own your truth and let out...Rob was trying too hard to get you to own it but you held back, We under ukwadile and kakhulu vele but you have nothing to loose bro.
He was just a great player but he must not blame the media ubephila impilo yobukhotheni and naye uyazi. Angalinge asole abantu ngobukhotheni bake, he must just humble himself abone amaphutha akhe.
Mr. O J Mabizela son come back home you know Pirates got lots and lots of love for you. We have always loved you and nothing will stop that. One cannot help when we see our current back line and not think about you. Once a pirate always a pirate. I know am not the only one. Non of us is perfect matter of fact you are outstanding when the rest of us are just ordinary everyday people. We are proud of our own. No questions asked come back son, we miss you and I know you have never stopped loving us
I hope the will be a day where OJ is willing to open up and really tell us what happened in his life, hopefully one day he will be ready to tell and own up to his story. Not this thing of just saying "amamistake enzeka off field" what mistakes, what was he doing really, was it drinking, what how when why with who etc.
IsiZulu sithi kushaywa edonsayo... I dnt blame those who took it so high wth u. Th brand of football OJ came up with was incredible nd it gave every South African goose bumps nd we all wanted to see u succeed my brther... whatever happened was due to who you became at a time. U were big man, nd ever since there has never been a defender like u
If you are a man and know how traditionally we handled emotions you'll know he felt like crying when Robert was showing him his highlights. Its really sad man for mna how much more for yena knowingly he could have done more nge talent yakhe.
Life is not easy and it dont cum with an instruction book we all make mistakes kodwa the lessons we learn is what matters hes the inspiration fr many careers we see today
He doesn't watch the PSL but his able to answer questions based on it and the teams, where does so much knowledge come from if he doesn't watch the PSL. Kodwa Yes sometimes it boring but I enjoy it.
So much was expected of him...and man was he capable!!some just felt let down perhaps...he should probably have been supported more,even psychologically...exceptional people like him do get to need careful handling,i believe...
The Most Talented Defender to ever come out of S.A. The great OJ. Very emotional interview, May God bless Mabizela
I don't care what nobody say but OJ is a hero to me especially being from pietermaritzburg.

The pain in his voice 😭 what a broken man. May the good Lord bless him and his family
I feel that too
Mmm this is so much painful,please guy any one can assist him to pull him from where his at because its seems like there is somthing went wrong by him,especially you Mr Robs if you can able to pull him to start again him legecy🤔🤔🤔🤔his our hero🤴
Bro!
Eish 😭
after watching this interview, i can now understand how hard things are for these players. its easier for us to be critical of them at the comfort of our seats but hearing what OJ is saying its really heartbreaking......all the best OJ

Usawenza namanje ama mistakes surely akafundi or akafundanga kokwenzeka kulimala icareer yakhe. Uke wazanywa yi team yangapha ngaseNdumo wazoyiqeqesha. Waqhubeka nawo lawo ma mistakes, kuyimanje ukuTalita soccer academy, nakhona if ungake uthole abasondelene nayo leyo academy bayokutshela.

All the best to him, he needs help though but mainly he needs to forgive himself.
Education levels also plays a big part.
We must become more friendly to our youngest's
and pay attention when see talent in them to understand encourage and displine in nice way
❤very true my good Sir, lifelong lessons I am hearing here, even outside football, there are lessons to be observed and taken to heart.
It’s so painful to see him and hear him saying the media crushed him.He was a damn good player imagine signing for Tottenham spurs at age 22.I’m a chief’s supporter but I loved watching him play.I can’t hold back my tears 😭
Me too i couldnt hold my tears i have so much respect for old j

I feel very honoured to be working with this legend he is really doing a great job with our Academy boys at Talitha soccer academy I do believe that mzansi has not seen the last of him they will see another Oj from this boys.he does everything with dedication and commitment he is a good coach

Please send me your contact details would like to contribute in assisting at furthering his coaching career
Bro Rob please don't stop this podcast I have potential of becoming one of the greatest
I don't hear him taking responsibility for his actions but trying to find a scapegoat,he was distant for greatness but he chose alcohol.
Great player he was at that time.
But he does admit his mistakes nje ...or ndim lo ungakwaziyo ukuba what does "taking responsibility " mean
True. He doesn't want to take any responsibility. Even though I do not like Junior Khanye but he never blamed anyone but himself
He admit his mistakes but yet he still blame media. We all know what media does and he had to be strong and makeup his life
I fully agree. The only thing I took out of this interview is that, the occurrences that took place in his life was because of others and his surroundings. Yena he 'worked hard' but others had other motives to bring him down. Victim mentality.
Very defensive too
One of the worlds best🔥
Siyabonga Mbulelo for all the joy you gave to us, Kapteni

I like this guy. This is the best defender South 🇿🇦 has ever produced. Mabizele I wonder if you know how much you touched our hearts. You are a living legend.
no lie detected
Hadebe is the greatest. This guy is broke.
Is always good to see and hear from the Legend OJ Mabizela.. we need his mind to change SA football ⚽️
This man is in so much pain, and he walks with it everyday of his life.
It is going to be there and he will carry it forever, giving assistance won't help him - he only needs support and people to talk with.
That's my two cents about this interview 🙌!
For me I don't see any thing wrong. He talked nice respect full, nd nothing shows that was over control by alcohol
Its a blessing to have watched guys like Mbulelo play.... Just thinking about it now gives me chills. A teenager getting to the pro ranks, then getting to international football, getting to the EPL and having his level of confidence was just something else. I wonder if there really isn't any other talent or talent scouts and the game has changed?
He was pretty special
Marawa you are the best yazi slowly he is opening up yesses this Marawa guy is a genius

@@AJakes93 yes in terms of talent
Thank you for a great interview with one of the best players SA has ever produced. I wish he can remain in football and help the nation unearth more talented players like him. Good luck to OJ.
Thank you Mr Rob for bringing him to the show, it is very inspiring and interesting. Please bring Happy Jele on studio
The all time best defender ever in South Africa 🤞🏿. If he didn’t commit the mistakes he would be a legend or even still be playing till now .

Wazwisa ub,hlungu Mbulelo,ngzolunga it's not over until GOD says it's over😭💔
He will go down in history as the greatest defender of all times, the OJ that we fell in love with fallball because of his art or craft in his defence. This makes me miss the old days watching him in the field.
Beautiful and craftily handled interview befitting of a wounded legend. Rob, keep the flag flying. Mabizela's journey is a sport management case study
He made defending looked very easy, could play anywhere at the back and also slotted easily in midfield as an anchor, effective with both feet, could pass long and short, the only South African defender I saw that didn't kick the ball out when under pressure or going for the so called "Safety First defending rule".

I pray that he let go of bad energy, be strong cause as soon as you out there and doing good, there's some people who are eagerly waiting for your downfall. Instead of uplifting, they'll say things about you which is painful and disturbing
The best we ever had in Mzansi, we've never had such ever since. He must be given the opportunity to share and pass on the skill

Nope, Bill Gates dropped out of college, Mandela spent 27 years in jail with his law degree, Tambo was homeless with his law degree, Mohammad Ghandi a systemic bandit, Mark Twain a drop out in University and the list is endless to include Jesus in the grave. Hello, a guy got tired of the neighbour's goat eating his vegetables so he dug a ditch. True the goat fell in the ditch. As the man poured the dirt ontop of the goat to burry it alive, they goat shook off the dirt and stump it's feet. Very soon the goat got out of the grave. No matter what hater say shake it off and stump your feet. Even prison waders made fun of mandele make him crush stones but he came out, became president and invited one of them to his inauguration
Mbulelo Old John Mabizele, oh what a player💥💥💥💥💥💥.
The way our country is so unfair to the victims is so wrong especially like the humble guy he has done his mistakes and lets support him to save whatever he has left with not to crush him while he is on his knees
Oj was wonderful to watch, a very good & gold defender
You are doing a great job Mr Marawa..
To me he is among the greatest player to come out of Africa.
You are still my legend Old John
Best Captain Best player Best Defender🇿🇦
Rob please hook this man with some opportunity I'm sure you have couple of them.... It breaks my heart seeing him this broken hearted💔
I like the way you through the questions to this Guy. I still feel like he ow us, South African football is lacking because of his carelessness. Talented, God Given. Mabizela were something else on the field. The guy was supposed to share his knowledge to our youngsters.😭😭😭
Pirates have some of the most technically gifted players ever in SA football. Mabizela and Leremi are case in point. #KBY
@Thebe, Gift was and will remain my best ever player 😭
SupaMega said it " I have heard it all before, they build you up and bring you down like the Berlin Wall". Qina njalo mfokaMabizela ekhaya babheke wena. Congrats grootman Robert on the new UA-cam 🍾channel it's about time ⚽️⚽️⚽️
Please put up English subtitles need time. Would have loved to watch this
Bringing back a school tournament ngenza mehluko mkhulu kabi.Good idea Mr old John
We forget these are young boys who are excited in showing off their talents and being young they need mentors who will guide them and act as a parent rather then allowing them to be destroted by media, because media is capable of building you and also breaking you. He is not perfect, he might have made foolish decision, but we all do make mistakes in life in order to grow. I see anger and hurt when l listen to him. Thank you Rob for handling the interview with grace
he was not ready for this interview, he did not talk at all. sometimes people need you to own the truth so that eminye iminyango izovuleka empilweni yakho but all in all what a talented player
The best defender in South Africa 😍👌 I'mic those days at Orlando Pirates he was so good
OJ dude we love you, but please own your truth and let out...Rob was trying too hard to get you to own it but you held back, We under ukwadile and kakhulu vele but you have nothing to loose bro.
Subtitles next time bro Rob, i though he would accomodate everyone in Queen's lingo since he plied his trade in England previously.
I thank God i managed 2 watch da big OJ , Oh wat a talent 👏
He can still play 1 or 2 seasons this guy is still good it's such that his discipline...!
what a player he was, a legend
Talent talent! But I wish He can speak out. I think He is holding back. Young ones can learn a lot from Him.
He was just a great player but he must not blame the media ubephila impilo yobukhotheni and naye uyazi. Angalinge asole abantu ngobukhotheni bake, he must just humble himself abone amaphutha akhe.
Bra lobhuti benyamalala phesheya azobonakala emzansi engabikanga kubaphathi
Waze wayibhorisa I interview lomjita uyatetema....akabuke o jabu pule....sebadlulisa onke lama flop...baqaqekile
E maritzburg ubengalali
All the best for your future endeavors. you were a great player indeed.
Its pain full this interview and his voice tells you we still love you old john as orlando pirates firmly
Mr. O J Mabizela son come back home you know Pirates got lots and lots of love for you. We have always loved you and nothing will stop that. One cannot help when we see our current back line and not think about you. Once a pirate always a pirate. I know am not the only one. Non of us is perfect matter of fact you are outstanding when the rest of us are just ordinary everyday people. We are proud of our own. No questions asked come back son, we miss you and I know you have never stopped loving us
I hope the will be a day where OJ is willing to open up and really tell us what happened in his life, hopefully one day he will be ready to tell and own up to his story. Not this thing of just saying "amamistake enzeka off field" what mistakes, what was he doing really, was it drinking, what how when why with who etc.
What a player. I wish OJ and Sangweni had played together at OPFC. What a talent
Push ndoda...nobody can take your experience,abilities and intellectual prowess away...we still believe in you,some of us!!
Best defender he should be giving knowledge of how to defend i really rate with the Chiellinies and Bonuccies of this World!!!!
IsiZulu sithi kushaywa edonsayo...
I dnt blame those who took it so high wth u.
Th brand of football OJ came up with was incredible nd it gave every South African goose bumps nd we all wanted to see u succeed my brther... whatever happened was due to who you became at a time.
U were big man, nd ever since there has never been a defender like u
If you are a man and know how traditionally we handled emotions you'll know he felt like crying when Robert was showing him his highlights. Its really sad man for mna how much more for yena knowingly he could have done more nge talent yakhe.
Life is not easy and it dont cum with an instruction book we all make mistakes kodwa the lessons we learn is what matters hes the inspiration fr many careers we see today
He doesn't watch the PSL but his able to answer questions based on it and the teams, where does so much knowledge come from if he doesn't watch the PSL. Kodwa Yes sometimes it boring but I enjoy it.
South African players should learn to responsibility. This blame game is not taking us anywhere
So much was expected of him...and man was he capable!!some just felt let down perhaps...he should probably have been supported more,even psychologically...exceptional people like him do get to need careful handling,i believe...
Thiago Silva reminds me of this guy
Hi Rob nice interview I'd really love to come to your show and talk football. I'm 100% sure you'd be impressed.
