Former BSL player Masibusane Zongo talks about why he spent nine months in prison facing rape charges, and despite his great technical ability and talent, his career was greatly harmed by a lack of discipline, lack of focus and involvement in a lot of things that harm the career of any professional soccer player.

Since making his debut in the league in 2008, the player has stolen the limelight and the hearts of the fans as well. With his powerful left foot, he has established himself as one of the best strikers and most capable in the box against any opposition, and after a stellar spell with Supersport United until 2012, he went on to spend his career with Bidvest Wits, Blackburn Rovers, Chippa United, Platinum Stars, Royal Eagles, and Tshakhuma Tsha Madzivhandila FC.

In 2023, the player joined Munaca FC and then the player also left the team due to disciplinary issues.

There’s a story I want to share, and I’ve never shared this story in any interview. So I was at Chippa United, and you know, at Chippa, I was a superstar, “There’s a story I want to share, and I’ve never shared this story in any interview. So I was at Chippa United, and you know, at Chippa, I was a superstar, We then went to the University of Western Cape and met these other girls to drink alcohol. After that we went to the hotel. In the morning, Mabizela left with the girl he was with, and I also left with a girl.

Masibusane Zongo said.

One of the girls who was with us the previous night called me to ask what happened between me and the other girl the previous night, and I said nothing. I was told that the girl says I raped her and she already went to the police station, I was taken to the police station and Mabizela advised me to call the Chippa chairman, Chippa Mpengesi. He then told us [Chippa] that his lawyer would come to the police station, and I was out on bail.
