[@shaunmelato6577]

Well Spoken, this guy should be an analyst for sure

[@notyetuhuru]

My thoughts exactly

[@alsonmbatha3844]

I remember the young man the day he nearly cause Cyril Nzama teeth by falling around the at FNB sorry boy for the lost of your soul mate God is still in control of everything be strong young man.

[@fikilemfamane4815]

It's so refreshing to hear such professionalism from a PSL player. From his family life to how he seems to have handled his finances and overall career, such a mature and professional gentleman. I enjoyed this interview.

[@dlaminiwelcomethamsanqa5932]

very mush refreshing.

[@mvelobhelem365]

Wishing Cheeseboy everything of the best in life man. We were blessed to watch him play, what a sensation he was

[@reneilwekhupari5532]

Being a 2k born, I wish that I would have seen The Late Gift Leremi playing. This was a beautiful interview.

[@primesportswithmahlatse]

Glad you enjoyed it

[@samkelotempi6583]

PSL need to compile a video that will show the highlights of Gift Leremi. The guy is the most talented winger in history of SA football, he may be probably the most natuural talented player ever to be born in SA. He had a blasting pace, an ability to dribble past opponents so easy, a powerful long range accurate shot in both legs. The prime Gerath Bale is the closest player i can compare to Gift in terms of playing style

[@indigotsg2385]

A player who could take corner using left or right foot and be accurate. A player who could dribble past players in a blistering pace.

[@pholematasane7195]

Continental was a natural baller! Accurate with both feet and he knew how good he was! You should listen to April Phali talk about him on TK solutions! I remember the first time Bafana Bafana beat Nigeria 2-1! Him and Tso Vilakazi were on fire! I genuinely believe he was gonna play for one of the best teams in the world

[@thobelandesi3172]

That guy was marvelous to watch more especially that squad he played with it was a Pirates you wouldn't like to play against

[@khoward1411]

One of the great talent we witnessed while growing up🎉

[@katarakooitse.1412]

He was never afraid of any opponent.

[@davidmabele6766]

Fluent in English, it's an honour to have you "Cheeseboy"

[@dikolizaskk5847]

So articulate, eloquent, & well speaking, making so much sense

[@cliffbarnes197]

Another thing that I will respect you for is the attitude you have, going to play in the lower league and carrying Swallows back from relegation...you saved our parents from heart attacks and stress ...I thank you once again and ke sure hore your kids have a wise father in you...never doubt yourself...

[@sizwe8]

Sounds very level headed. Wishing him nothing but the best going forward especially as a single parent. Hopefully he won't be lost to football even if he doesn't find a team to play for.

[@bordaxgauteng6968]

Dankie Boy

[@MisterSiba]

Very articulate, very humble. Great future ahead cheesy 💪🏽💪🏽

[@TumisoTMaponya]

Cheesy, takes me back when he was promoted as a young boy & his high school mates were interviewed this was around 2002/03, they said they were shocked to see him playing for Pirates on weekends & on monday he's at school, this young girl then said "mara yene o talented, he will go far" he played 18 to 19 years after that interview, great career soldiered through many injuries but played to 37,enjoyed you best at Pirates dazzling on that flanks with another special talent Gift Leremi especially in derbies, all the best brother stay strong & God bless🙌

[@BonganiGama-vw1gp]

You bring tears in my eyes Tumiso especially where you mention... "dazzling on the flanks"... I can't vividly remember the year, but it was on the Derby match against Chiefs. In that match he single handedly broke Siril Nzama's Ribs with his dribbling skills. The Camera man who was behind him when he did that got into a serious trouble for dropping a camera on the floor Loughing hysterically. Wow! I don't understand why but I can't get that out of my mind. "Cheese" was a marvel to watch👏👏👏👏👏 Let Pirates give him a chance again to teach this young stars some experience and even a coaching job there after, he's Pirates asset

[@sphevictor3528]

2004 Coca Cola cup semi finals Pirates vs Sundowns,Vilakazi,Leremi,Dukuduku and Cheese hai these guys gave us beautiful football

[@martinlesiba2209]

Lebohang cheeseboy mokoena. Nice interview bra. Goodluck with your business my brother

[@Dzhambila]

I wish Cheese boy all the best, he sounds like a very matured family man. I hope the guys from SABC and supersport can give him a chance to be come an analyst

[@musashangase4094]

As a young star at Pirates he was always well spoken - condolences Cheese Boy and your kids

[@MelVeeBroadcastingNetwork]

Sincere condolences Lebogang. How tragic to lose your wife at such a prime time of your life. May God comfort you and restore your joy and peace. You are fortunate to have her gift you those 2 boys and 2 girls. Look after them well. I enjoyed your clarity in communicating in this interview - you are a gifted communicator - I could leave this interview until the end. I did not know that you were not retired. One day, I hope to see you on SuperSport providing commentaries to major tournaments.

[@thanduxolontlombeni1275]

Enjoyed every minute of this, great to see a player that broke through professional ranks at an early age but never lost their head. As a Chiefs fan, I know he gave us heart attacks each time he faced Nzama and Mabedi😂.

[@MelloBelloPhotoStudio]

I grew supporting Kaizer Chiefs and this use to give us sleepless just for his skill,I hope someone will come through for him in this needy time.

[@abutilesego2u59]

This guy used be my soul healer, watching him play gave me a joy LM23

[@sinoxolodlutu1949]

Respect for this guy ♥️

[@DingiNqaba]

39 minutes into the interview, very dope...dankie Cheese and condolences to you and the family.

[@kamohelompholo465]

You can hear CheeseBoy background stable and supportive. He came to proper family. The handle himself well, so articulate and detailed. God bless him abundantly

[@LloydNgcobo-gg5mm]

Thank you Cheese Boy for this interview! It is an up lifting and wish every player would have such commitment and mind set that took you to where you, today! Big ups

[@mzubongilemdutyulwa9028]

Am soo glad I grew up watching this guy. Yohhhh yohhhh his memories are replaying in my head as I type this... You can tell his humility as well "Coach Augusto, Coach Pitso", "Bra J" Bra Mahlatse, etc. Pirates was very good at grooming top players previously, So sorry he lost his wife.. Love this guy

[@luckyngobeni2875]

A legend of the South African football

[@brianmagopa3872]

What a great conversation you had with Lebogang Mokwena. He's such a gentleman of the game. He can add value to any team post his playing career. Wish him well and may God give him strength and wisdom to raise kids

[@cliffbarnes197]

Cheeseboy forever, am a Sundowns fan and my father is a Swallows fan, so let me be the one to thank you for serving us both in your lifetime...the dangerous one was the name that I gave you when you were still playing for Pirates at Loftus against Sundowns with Steve and Gift...Steve had received a red card in the first half, but you were a serious threat in the second half every time you had the ball...I thank you my guy and condolences...luckily you understand that she is still there spiritually.

[@justwatch5970]

Condolences to Cheese boy and his family may his wife's soul rest in peace. I now know him well after this interview, he is very knowledgeable and level headed, one of the teams he played for must offer him a serious technical permanent position he has alot of knowledge to impart to the young kids. May God continue to bless him and his family🙏🏼

[@LinkMeUpZA]

That part about having old players, sharing knowledge with the young ones... Dont only apply in football only, it should apply in real life as well 100% Also we have always spoken about how most of our players dont make it to the top leagues in Europe, after this interview - perhaps we should also start speaking about how club administrators tend to stand in-between players and their overseas moves....

[@TumeloMotsosi]

U can be a good soccer analyst my brother,you are very matured Cheese keep it up

[@mthandenimthimkhulu6136]

Yes he is a phenomenon articulative person which make him to become a Soccer Analysis much respect for him

[@sifisombothwe290]

He was one of my favorite players at Orlando Pirates, i remember the first time I watched him play he was wearing the number 26 shirt, Pirates was playing St Michelle's in the Champions league, he scored one of the 5 goals in a 5 - 0 victory for the Buccaneers 🏴‍☠️

Not everyone is is talking of the likes of the late Phumlani Dindi, Marks Banzi, Mahlomola Ntshabele,Samuel "C" Ngobeni,Tony Illodigwe

[@Mseleku1]

Sundowns has been blessed with such prolific players that have graced us with their presence. It shocks me to know that they're still dominant and have added so many remarkable players as well. I wish the likes of Kaizer chiefs, Supersport and stellenbosch can pull up their socks to an extent that PSL teams can become a force to be reckon with in CAF.

[@lumzadebaba]

I've really enjoyed this interview plus Cheeseboy is well spoken, perhaps probably Bra Mahlatse you might wanna open a match analysis show, and we need Cheeseboy as our resident analyst.

[@primesportswithmahlatse]

Point taken, thanks for the feedback.

[@lumzadebaba]

@@primesportswithmahlatse l appreciate your response, and if you are to allow to add that l think that this might assist him in taking care of his family, plus we're talking about someone whose been in the game for over 2 decades, exposed to top teams and clubs with rich history and others with further diverse cultures and pressures, this man has played under different coaches and exposed to different philosophies and analysis over the years, surely should the show happen it will be a fresh breath of air, let alone that he is also mentoring youngsters having been one at OPFC to being senior player to his later clubs. This man is a jewel. He has someone that scouted him to his first BIGGER club and should this materialize and perhaps BIGGER brands like SS or SABC come knocking you would have been the same influence he speaks fondly of, that may lead him to Bigger teams of broadcast. If you are to allow me, my good sir. I thank you. Kind Regards.
