In this edition of My Dream Team, former Platinum Stars, Thanda Royal Zulu, and Bloemfontein Celtic player Solomon Mathe names the 10 best players he featured alongside during his football career.
What formation?
"4-5-1. I like it because it uses three central midfielders, so it makes your team dominate the opponents."
Goalkeeper
"Mbongeni Mzimela. I like his confidence. He is also vocal, he knows how to organise his defence. He hates losing."
Defenders
"Kelebogile Mabe will be my right-back. Very solid and vocal. He is also comfortable on the ball.
"On the left, I will put Innocent Mdledle. Very solid, and going forward he will provide us with an option. Very comfortable on the ball as he can dribble and mark.
"My centre-backs are Benson Mhlongo and Tshepo Gumede. I've played with both of them at Platinum Stars, these two are very comfortable on the ball and very vocal. And they both hate losing."
Midfield
"The first one in the middle is me. I play as a number 6. I protect the defence, and at the same time I start plays.
"Next to me, it's Robert Ngambi. He is our box-to-box player.
"Papi Zothwane. He plays as a number 1, just behind our striker. He is smart and can make the team play.
"On the left, I will put Tintswalo Tshabalala. He will cover very well for Mdledle when he pushes forward.
"Joseph Makhanya will play on the right. Very good in beating his opponent in one-on-one situations, and can create chances for a striker."
Striker
"Cheeseboy Mokoena. I played with Lebohang at Yebo Yes (Orlando Pirates development side). I'm playing him as a striker because I know he can score goals."
Coach
"Cavin Johnson. I enjoyed my football under him, he hates losing but gives his players the freedom to use their strengths."
