In this edition of My Dream Team, former Kaizer Chiefs and Orlando Pirates striker Bongani Drogba Ndulula selects the best players he featured alongside during his football career.
What's the formation?
"I'm playing the 4-4-2 formation. As an attacker, I prefer an attacking formation."
Goalkeeper...
"I will go with the late, Senzo [Meyiwa]. He passed on just when he had hit his top form. I also played with him with the national team."
Defenders...
"Right-Back is Happy Jele. The time we won a treble he was on top form for Pirates. Since he left, Pirates have failed to replace him. Left-back goes to Sibusiso Mxoyana. I played with him in the Under-23s, that guy knows football too much. He was good both in defending and attacking. My centre-backs will be Rooi Mahamutsa and Siyabonga Sangweni. They both bring composure and communication. Both used to kick strikers. It's just that Siya used to be smart about it."
Midfield...
"I will put Tata, Andile Jali. This one is the last number. Here in South Africa, a defensive midfielder like him is yet to be born. He is still the best, even now. Once you take Andile you can't leave out his twin Oupa Manyisa. He is a box-to-box player Oupa. On the right I will put 'Mshishi' Themba Zwane. I played with him in the Under-23s. He arrived in the national under-23 squad on a Wednesday but on Saturday he started the game, straight from the Vodacom league. On the left I will put Thulani Serero, they don't call him 'Cream' for nothing."
Strikers...
"I choose Tokelo Rantie. I had a good understanding with him upfront. And obviously, I won't leave myself out, if you don't know about my qualities then I won't tell you."
Substitutes...
"Moneeb Josephs will be my reserve goalkeeper. My defender on the bench will be Eric Mathoho, I like the way he dominates in the air. He is not easily beaten in one on one. In the middle it will be Thandani Ntshumayelo, he is a box-to-box player. My reserve striker is Ndumiso Mabena, I won't lie to you that guy knows football. He is underrated in South Africa. He's got a lot of qualities that guy."
Coach...
"Obviously, that one doesn't need to be debated. It's coach Shakes Mashaba. A firm believer of 4-4-2 formation."
