Dirang Moloi: The maestro who ran away from football

On several occasions, Premier League giants Notwane had to send out a search party for him. From the early days, the sensational midfielder was a very reluctant footballer.

Indeed, it is pressure from his peers and mentors that made sure he was never lost to the game. However, watching the Zebras' midfielder in action, it is very difficult to believe that was once a very reluctant footballer. It is a sight to behold when he brings a high ball down to the ground. He exhibits the elegance of a gazelle and the aura of a genius lost in holy communion with his generous talent. He jumps with his chest out and momentarily freezes in mid-air with his eyes on the ball. His chest recoils to hug the ball as it rolls downwards to the foot or, specifically to the tip of his boot.
