I used to hear a lot about makhya as a kid, he's the real reason started watching cricket as a kid. I'm the cricket fanatic I am today because..... I'm excited to watch this

[@martinmphahlele8146]

I always get emotional when I listen or read about Makhaya Ntini's journey. He is truly an inspiration to many and the reason why many black people started following cricket. South Africa thanks you!

What a servant of SA cricket and a humble human being on top. We salute U Makhaya!

[@TheAto2000]

this the first time i've heard him talk. I'm West Indian, but I'd like footage of when he took a lot of wickets in a test match in Trinidad in 2004. Thanks.

Makhaya we salute you nkabi. Hopefully Thando can emulate your achievement and become a Protea too.

[@mxomzanywa3738]

You made us believe that even for us it's possible to make it.

Super sport please make the other videos available globally .... Really would love to watch them.

[@biharibabu9141]

In my opinion he is the all time best SA bowler.

[@Enoch940]

Nope but definitely in the top 12 best ever produced by SA.

Ntini. The number 1 champion

[@wearelegion5533]

Watching this after the 17 July 2020 interview... Really sobering and shows how much BS he put up with

[@zingimazongs274]

You can say that again.. And he is still respectful shm

[@boymeetsbush8232]

I don't get it what BS he had to put up? In his own words lot of white people supported him from his early age. As a person of colour I can tell you it is more to do with not understanding one culture that keeps people away from each other, but as soon as you have common interest those lines differentiating one from the other disappear. It is universal to associate with people of your own liking/interest.

Ray Jennings' behavior was that of a bigot.

so funny how an African child instictively doesnt eat meats and creatures that are not permitted by the ancient laws of the almighty and African ancestor. first time i saw people eating insects and prawns i was creeped out. #HIBIRU #xhosa

[@bobbythomas5357]

Nothing about MIckey Arthur?

[@surgeknight5725]

Why? What about him? Was he the early coach of makhaya or something? I mean before makhaya played for proteas?

[@Enoch940]

Mickey is a great coach. His downfall in SA was he didn't bow to low to SA politician's.
