The former Mamelodi Sundowns man has seen it all; both bad and good since he joined the South African Premiership in 2012, but he has stood tall in all the situations. Ngele currently plays for a Limpopo-based side, Tshakhuma Tsha Madzivhandila (TTM), which bought Bidvest Wits’ status in the elite league. Since joining his new team, Ngele has wasted no time showing off what he is capable of. He made his debut for his new side in the MTN 8 quarterfinal against Supersport United, one of his former clubs.
Despite going onto to lose 3-2, failing to progress to the next stage, Ngele reminded his fans of his qualities with two brilliant goals. Ever since he broke into the scene with Uniao Flamengo Santos, Ngele’s gifted left foot has been a nightmare for many goalkeepers, attracting interest from Platinum Stars in 2012 at the age of 22. Ngele spent three seasons at Platinum Stars, scoring 19 goals. His exploits and big match temperament later caught the attention of giants, Mamelodi Sundowns who signed him in 2015. His five-year deal, although reportedly financially good, was also characterised by limited playtime, injuries and loan deals. With Sundowns boasting arguably the best talent in South Africa, it proved to be difficult for him to break into the team and was loaned out to Bidvest Wits during the 2017/2017 season.
