If ever the name that Goodman Mazibuko was given was an omen to the human being that he would become, then it made for a perfect fitting.
Mazibuko made a world of a difference to his family through what he made from playing football after getting his break at Qwa-Qwa Stars as a teenager in January 1995.

This is where he got his first ever salary which came in cash.
"My first salary at Qwa-Qwa Stars was R1000, but someone, whose name I won't mention, used to swindle me of R300 every month from that salary," discloses Mazibuko.
"I'm originally from the farms in Warden, but because of issues related to schools, we had to relocate to Qwa-Qwa and at that time I wasn't even able to speak Sesotho.
"Serame Letsoaka, who became my teammate at Stars, was my Mathematics teacher at school and used to smack me.
"Do you know that most people even thought that I was a foreigner because I was dark in complexion?
"I was a regular straight away at Stars because the club had put many players on transfer the previous season.
"I got that R1000 salary in January 1995 as my first pay and had R300 being taken away for school, yet it was said SAFA was paying for us at the college.
"That R700 salary at age 19 was good money for me because I came from a poor family.
"We didn't have a TV at home, and I bought a colour TV at home in my first year at Qwa-Qwa.
"We didn't even have electricity at home, so I bought an inverter to power that TV.
"Having a TV at home was a huge achievement because we used to watch TVs from a distance at other people's houses and that time it was those big black and white TVs.
"I grew up in poverty living in a shack, so when I did that, they were happy, plus I went on to build a four-roomed house with a garage after that.
"What helped at Qwa-Qwa is that we got winning bonuses of about R1000 and since we were doing well, I could end up with R4000 in a good month.
"R4000 was a lot of money, some of which I had to put aside at the Post Office before I even had an account.
"I only had an account when we started paying via cheques instead of hard cash.
"When I then bought my first car, my late dad was so shocked that he thought I was now stealing money from somewhere.
"It was a BMW 320i (E36 Series) and this was in 1996.
"My plan had been to also buy my dad a car, but unfortunately, he passed away that year.
"After building a four-roomed house at home and buying myself a car, I then moved out and bought a stand for myself for R12 000, which was expensive at the time.
"I then built myself a house there and after that I had a Toyota Corolla and then a VW VR6.
"By the time I left Qwa-Qwa, I had even furnished the house back home, buying a bed for my granny and a room divider.

"My granny still didn't even care that I was on TV or famous in my village area and used to remind me that I remain a child in her house.
"What also made me popular in rural Qwa-Qwa where I came from was that I was Man of the Match in the Coca-Cola the one year.
"I then gave away those drinks to everyone in the area since we didn't have a fridge at home at the time," says Mazibuko.
