Mamelodi Sundowns have given their new signing, Katlego Ntsabeleng, a wholesome full-circle moment. Here's a look!
The story
Affectionately called "Tsiki", the new Downs midfielder recently joined the club on loan from FC Dallas in Major League Soccer.
The move comes as something of a surprise, as there had been very few indications that he would be heading to Chloorkop before the deal was announced.

Nevertheless, it marks a full-circle moment for Ntsabeleng, as he is not only returning home but also rejoining the club he played for during his childhood.
In a video posted by Sundowns on Instagram, Tsiki is taken on a nostalgic trip, travelling from his medical — reportedly at the Tshwane Orthopaedic Sports Centre — to his old neighbourhood, where his football dreams first began.
In the video, Tsiki also reveals the medals he won growing up, including a small trophy he received for public speaking.
It appears that the maestro’s return to Sundowns is not only heartwarming for him, but also offers South African football lovers their first proper chance to see his game, given that Tsiki has never previously played professionally in his home country.
