“Thank You, Mzansi” - A Moment with Doctor Khumalo

About this episode

The episode features Doctor Khumalo discussing his legacy in South African football and his recent honorary doctorate.

Doctor Theophilus “Doctor” Khumalo, a name that carries weight in South African football history.

His impact has stretched far beyond his playing days, shaping the next generation and staying deeply embedded in South African football.
