Mpho Makola gets emotional: ‘What have I done to football that it's doing this to me?’

A talented footballer player with a bit of misfortunate, that is the story of Mpho Makola.
With a confusing departure from Orlando Pirates, a season unexpectedly cut short at Cape Town City, and a recent shocking layoff at Polokwane City, his career has been riddled with ups and downs.
Makola got on the map during his time at Orlando Pirates (2012 to 2019), a time which he recalls playing his ‘best football’.
He left Pirates and joined Cape Town City in 2019 but his contract was cut short in January 2023 after unexpectedly being released with five months left.
During his time at City, Makola had a few run-ins with the PSL - including two suspensions following altercations with match officials.

It breaks my heart to see a man crying, this could happen to anyone no matter who you are , in dark days people we call friends either laugh at us or deserts us , Mpho is a Hero ,be strong Brother.

[@LEE444S]

That is exactly right, what you say. The worst is they turn on their so called friends only when they get pointed out exactly how they have gone behind their back and have done all that they could in using their so called friends in achieving the positions that they are in. Now they use their newly acclaimed positions acuired from their stolen knowledge at exert a pathetic force from those who they side with.... Clearly friendship only go as far as what they can suck out of you, or by stepping on you to get there. Hey ashols stop shouting for those you've used to come down from up there. You are reaching altitudes you clearly can't handle. It's creating altitude sickness.... Your so called friends down here don't really care to listen to the advise of your previously proven disloyalty and lack of vision..... Fly high little ones.... I will be here to catch you when you fall.... Where is the Love..... You are to busy protecting what you've stolen to make suggestions. So don't insult me please. You all should know me better. But clearly people change and the layers version of your creation of money, god and jesus show themselves as a disastrous temporary platform to dive from.... Good luck. Perhaps find some time in you schedule and meditate on where we come from what we have done for each other.... I laugh and think.... No friends of mine by willingness to do the same. Did you get all you wanted or is there more you want to suck from me..... Ooo yeah ladies. I suppose these guys treat you exactly the way you deserve.... Or whatever you aspire to be.... I don't think you worth all the money you've taken from me anyway. I was never going for cheap, that's why priseless would not be a concept you'd understand. Don't bother brothers. Badmouthing anyone behind their back no lesst be it someone who were a friend. Another concept you and your cheap click would not get. As far as I have gathered, you all are doing well in scaming one another or those who you claim to be friends with. Clearly it pays for the top of the working girls you get to show this fake life you live.... Well sorry girls if I thought you were better than a payed prop to a fake life.... My bad Enjoy and good luck with whatever comes to the door.

[@PromiseLand.]

I’m a chiefs supporter but Mpho is one of my favorite players to ever play!He is so humble. Stay strong soldier!

[@legendaryme253]

I agree with you as a Khosi too. Makola was such a baller

[@tshoanelomokoatle2614]

It's devastating how the administration of SA football maltreat its senior players especially when they have come to age..they just dump them used bubble gum and it depresses players who not only sacrificed their lives but gave their talent and changed people's live through football...it's really inhumane of the clubs how unprofessional they are..

[@banelemethule9638]

I remember Mpho Makola and Tendai Ndoro killing sundowns in the Nedbank cup 2016, this guy is a star ⭐

[@lubabalocele5491]

My favorite player, very intelligent and technically gifted

[@onkemahlombe1711]

Eish so emotional n touching interview, I think our football career it needs to upgrade up from where it current. Big up bro Rob u doing amazing work 💪👍 n God bless 🙏🙏

[@sinalomdishwa4551]

[@ikemakaringe8287]

[@Mbokie]

Heart breaking. Mpho doesn't deserve such treatment

[@thamimathebula5009]

Keep your head up my bro. We Love You

[@rorisangmatsiela8975]

We need to be honest, I'm a chiefs fan but i did recognize bibo's potential, i thought he was unplayable at times but i also felt that he just wasn't focussed at Pirates, consistency just wasn't there, he didn't do his talent the justice it deserved!! However football is run dismally in this country, most psl teams can't spell the word professionalism

[@zaka3956]

I used to enjoy watching this guy in the field

[@davidsontsumela4116]

Hearing you name Coach Thabo on that list just made my day mbiba

[@jimmymabasa5566]

Much love Bibo “Sgonondo” bra yami you’ve showed us your best qualities in your era ❤

[@Gaborekoe]

Rob's questions 👌 very much pointed

[@tsviehltheprnciple6582]

[@shorty9798]

Love always what a sad story...

[@MoneriMandla2024]

Most humble player I’ve ever seen

[@nkosanavincent4042]

i'm named "Bibo" through football, my coach was a pirates fan. i fell inlove with the no.8 because of mpho.

[@mfunekofezi]

Much love Bibo, i remember when you we're Free State Stars and i was itching for your signing at My beloved Pirates. God answered my prayers and boy you made me happy to the fullest. I was calling you Mfundisi due to that hair you had.

[@simamkelekona3028]

Mr marawa thank you bafo for being our last hope when it comes to the truth regarding our players we really appreciate you ……. Thers one story which I know that myself and many Orlando Pirates and South African fans wana know …….WHAT HAPPENED BETWEEN PIRATES AND HAPPY JELE 😢?

[@katlegombhele3513]

[@campassmakepisinzima9278]

[@tshabalalathabang6689]

Bibo you the best....

[@avelaavela1936]

I love this player

[@MoAfrika-Afrika]

Mara uMadl'uphuthu is the best sportscaster in the world. You have a way of making it look and sound easy.

[@kabelokatjedi3801]

He served football fartenity with flying colour's, imagine his time from free state stars. It's time to develop young players and nature them to become best player's, I wouldn't complain if my career history was like his

[@ditopanchachi4876]

I'm crying on your behalf Mphoza, football in SA is very cruel, 3 years without signing-on fee mara?

[@luthuliattorneys1504]

Makola, the best penalty taker ever

[@tshepisoseabi1069]

Very good player

[@martinmakola4451]

MPHO ur the best player boi, Pirates should take him back and i still believe that he deserve no:10....

[@katlegoisaac8061]

Resemblance of Putla Sehlapelo (Meneer Alfred Magongwa) from Skeem Saam. What a wonderful midfielder

[@songezodsd8590]

Eish Mpho

[@lwazimthethwa7011]

Royal AM would be the perfect match for him...

[@sandilesithole5780]

Good luck mpho

[@theolepitsi2805]

Its part of football life it can make u and brake you 😢 so his not the first person or football player to be treated like that & he will always be RSA football star.

[@shorty9798]

Aaww Bibo 😊

[@PHOLOBS]

Bibo Bafethu.🙌💯

[@mangimasuku3810]

What has he done to the football fraternity??,,,, He agressively shoved n pushed down the referee while he was at cape town city

[@MaloseEmmanuel]

What's the frequency of that station in Gauteng?

[@MoAfrika-Afrika]

94.7

[@jabulanimakgwe8790]

I'll never forget when senior players gave away the game to Supersport and Sundowns those 6-0 then again when they threw Rhulani under the bus against Polokwane FC, the rest is History. Ask Njenje Palocious or Mushin. Massive exodus of players followed.

[@cremecrop2329]

Football in Mzansi is something else man. Nothing is ever straight forward.

[@muzinxumalo53]

you have to filter the adverts, please.

[@NdivhuRamabulana]

Adverts pay bills buddy,they are not just there,they are paying

[@mbulelokhonzeka8573]

But at Pirates when u are at a certain age they release u or its either u take a pay cut which is what Matlaba disagreed on and moved on

[@thembisilestuurman1127]

Rhulani Mokoena is the reason this person leaving orlando pirates

[@maawo-cr6uq]

Ever since pirates released you, we never had a free-kick specialist 🤞

[@Pinzollo100]

Probably same question a lot of dudes asked themselves when you were at your peak moving from Campus to Campus, Res to Res yanking Huns outta their hands...

[@hoza1752]

He is Anelka looka like

[@PhikelwaThuntubele]

I listen to this from the start to the end yazi and some of the incident that happend to Mpho just give me a thought of maybe its time for him to go home do some rituals for his ancestors just for him to cleanse himself and ask for some blessing from them...just my thoughts..

[@betwaypremclips]

South African football players kodwa but let me keep quiet 🤐

[@sthembisosenkosi4700]

I love my pirates..but really there is something wrong there of destroying players especially once they leave there 😢😢😢😢😢

[@nhlanhlandabandaba7420]

How did they destroy Makola if i may ask? Angilwi i just need to understand your point

[@sabelomarvelousmni6676]

They destroyed him in a way that noone from the technical team gave the reason for his release given that he still had a season on his contract

[@mbulelokhonzeka8573]

​@@nhlanhlandabandaba7420Pirates did not destroy makola the thing is age and Bra Stan always had players to continue the season

[@aphiwokuhlengqeza6758]

This man is broken

[@thabangmpooa4696]

You went to join the wrong team nobody will make it after playing for that team,. where is your friend Oupa from the same team and the rest, you will see what will happen to Lorch. sorry my brother keep well.

[@shimmykekana2843]

Smells Screamer all over this story...

[@reabetswemailula376]

me too

[@makeitknownproductions8447]

The most disrespectful soccer player I have ever seen...🚮

[@clevermusara7145]

We are africans sometimes you have to honour you ancestors

[@isaacrapakgadi4216]

mara football is cruel in south africa. there is no career there.

[@PhineasMasipa-yj4eb]

Football is indeed spiritual and is a sort of cult wer lot of emotions n cruelty are invested. I feel sorry for the players coz as fans we are to hash on them. And the management of this game are Devils agents coz they dont consider the emotions,sweat blood n tears of the players and the dependent(kids n families) of these players.

[@lihlenomthanjana7495]

I am a huge fan of Mpho but let’s be honest football is business. When your time is over just accept and move on. When he came to Pirates same players left and when he left same players came in ☠️☠️☠️

[@betwaypremclips]

Almost all of them are like this, it's like they don't get it...

[@MoAfrika-Afrika]

Aai these guys don't learn. Unfortunately it's the nature of their career. Sports is just like that. They need to learn!

[@mbulelokhonzeka8573]

Bra Stan

[@simphiwemkhwanazi8091]

💔💔🥲

Cape Town City finished Makola
