Izinja zeGame - Junaid Hartley

We are very proud to present the first episode of Izinja zeGame, a new weekly and FREE soccer podcast hosted by none other than former Wits, Sundowns, Kaizer Chiefs, Moroka Swallows and Bafana Bafana star Josta Dladla.
First onto the pitch is the mercurial talent that was Junaid Hartley - a former Bafana Bafana winger who had the world at his feet before falling into a 14-year battle with substance abuse which eventually saw him end up in prison.
Junaid shares his fight with addiction openly and honestly, and also reflects on coming through at Wits University with his good friend Stanton Fredericks, facing the likes of Thierry Henry and Nicolas Anelka, and incurring the wrath of the legendary Shakes Mashaba.
