Ekubuyeni kwawo esibhedlela amaphoisa ayesefuna uSimon Mashaba njengomdlinzelwa kula macala okubulala ngesando.
Adweba nomfanekiso wekhanda lomuntu alikhipha emaphephandabeni. Kwakungu mdwebo wokufanisa nokufunisela.
Leli khanda lalifaniswe noSolomon. Nakhu phela wayethe babelamana noSimon. Anxusa umphakathi ukuba uwabikele uma ubona umuntu ofana nalowo mfanekiso, indoda yesando.
Dukuduku, kwezwakala ukuthi sekubulewe abanye futhi abelungu ngesando.

'Hawu! Kapteni, lendoda yesando isikuphindile futhi lokho?' Kubuza uMasango ekhombisa ukwethuka.
'Konje - e - e! Kungabe usho kuphi kona, Sayitshei?'
'Ngisho Lesi sigameko sokubulala kukaBasi uJohnson noMesisi wakhe!'
'Yisimanga phela lesi, Sayitsheni! Bheka-ke ngoba uNkosana Johnson lona ngumakhelwana wami nje.'
'Uthini nje Kapteni? Yinsumansumane phela le, ngiqinisile!' Kubabaza uMasango.
'Bheka-ke ngoba ithe ingawuhlaba umkhosi intombazane ebibasebenzela abafi laba sayakhona sesiphangelana. Besicaba ukuthi hleze simbambe oqotsheni umfo lona. Kepha phinde sisifice isigebengu lesi,' Kuchaza uVan Orsic.

'Nafica itshe selome inhlama, Kapteni?' Kubuzisisa uMasango.
'Nakhona lapha sifice kungagqekezwe ndawo. Nokuze singene ngaphakathi endlini size sagqekeza.'
'pho-ke uma bekungagqekezwe ndawo intombazane le ehlabe umkhosi yaze ngani ukuthi sekuvele endlini ngaphakathi, Kapteni?
'Ithe yona ihlangatshezwe isililo lapho izingane zikhala ziluqanduqandu zivele emakhethinini ekamelweni labazali bazo.'
'Mm - ! Yabuhlungu-ke lento, Kapteni!'
"Ithe-ke yizona eziyitshele ukuthi uNkosana Johnson Nowakwakhe balele abanyakazi noma sezibanyakazisa. Zathi futhi abaphefumuli.' Kuchaza uVan Orsic.
'Waze wanesihluku lomuntu, madoda!'
'Esiyinqaba, Sayitsheni'

Indaba yonakale ngokuthi uMashaba egqimuze intombi yakhe uNono bebanga okuthile, ejalidini lapho embhacise khona.
UNono wathukuthela wagana unwabu. Wathi uzomceba uSimon Mashaba kuBasi wakhe uVan Orsic, uMphathi-siteshi samaphoyisa. Wathukuthela uMashaba wabila. Wathatha isando sakhe washo ukumphihlisa uNono. UNono waphulukuhlela ngefasitele wabaleka wayosithela emnyameni. UMashaba esahli elindele ukuba uNono abuye, wathathwa yisihlwathi.
Kuleso sihlwathi wavuswa abomthetho.
Base beyikake bayithi ngiminci indlu kaNono. Babeholwa nguye uqobo uKapteni uVan Orsic. Bathi bengagulukudela bengena nesicabha babemgxavuna.
Bamgaxa ozankosi izihlakala bazihlanganisa emhlane. Bambopha nangama ketango emaqakaleni. Bamgquba. Wagxumagxuma okweselesele. Bamdududlela ogqokweni lweveni. Bamvalela Kiyo.
Bashaya bachitha naye baqonda esiteshini samaphoyisa eMpangeni.

Abasuka eMatshana naseMacekane abasebuklamuklamu ukushaya ngezimfushane.
Abomthetho abasabulali ubuthongo. Bayaphambana. Behla benyuka. Benyusa babuye behlise imigwaqo ngezinyawo nangezimoto. Bayaluza ezindaweni okuma kizo izinto zokuthutha abantu. Babodwa abangena baguduze ngaphakathi ezitimeleni nakemabhasini. Abanye balunguza ngamafasitela ezimotweni ezingamakhumbi. Kuyacingwa. Kucingwa umuntu ongaziwa. Indoda yesando.

"Washona khona lapho, Kapteni?"
"Uthini na lona? Umuntu esimfunyanise eseqanda qa."
Kukhona lokho kudideka, wonke umuntu emise izindlebe, kwezwakala ukuthi kukhona umuntu ongeniswe esibhedlela eNgwelezane elimele kabi. Abomthetho bathi bengawuhosha lomoya ngoMnumzane Zondela, umphathi-sibhedlela wase Ngwelezane ababe besapholisa maseko. Banikela khona esibhedlela. Aphangelana ngaye lo mlisa amaphoyisa emphonsa imibuzo. Wayesezinhlungwini ezesabekayo. Wayephendula lokho nje kuphela okubuziwe bese ethula.
"Ungubani igama lakho ndoda?" Kubuza uMasango.

"Ungubani?" Kubuza uMasango futhi.
"Ngingu Sol... Solo... lomo... ni!"
"Isibongo sakho sona ungowakwabani?" Kubuza uVan Oršic.
"Ngi... ngingo... ngowakwa Ma... Mashaba."
"Uthi unguSolomon Mashaba, Kapteni," kuchaza uMasango

Beqhubeka nokumphenya 'abomtheho uMashaba wabachazela ukuthi wayengeniswe esibhedlela ngemumva kokodutshulwa ngumfowabo. Wathi umfowabo kwakunguSimon Mashaba. Bembuza ukuthi umfowabo wathi engamdubula qede wase shonaphi, wathi akazi. Abomthetho bamphenyisisa uSolomon Mashaba befuna ukuqinisekisa owukuthi akusiyo na Indoda yesando le abakhuluma nayo.

"I had money, friends and the pick of the best women in town. I really was a hero. But ten years ago, people knew nothing about AIDS. Maybe if I'd had more sense and fewer girlfriends back then, we would both be playing in the cup final next month. Come on, let me give you a lift home. I can explain some facts to you in the car."
Too stunned to argue, Mike climbed cautiously into Vusi's car.

By Monday evening's practice session, Mike understood a lot more about Vusi's problem. They had spent the whole Sunday together, with Vusi explaining what AIDS meant and how one could and could not get it. Mike knew Vusi to be a good person who would not just give him any old story. As Vusi talked, Mike understood that he was still the same man he had always been. He was still a football legend, a real hero. Only now he had a problem that needed understanding and sympathy.

Mike thought deeply about all of this as he kicked the ball about with some of the other team members. They were waiting on the field for the Coach and the some last few players to arrive. As usual, Mike could see Vusi sitting alone on the grandstand. Ever since he had resigned from the team because of the virus that causes AIDS, Vusi still came down to see the All Stars train.
"I wonder what the other players would say if they knew why Vusi wasn't playing any more, " thought Mike.

Just then, Enos Hlophe arrived and walked over to Mike.
"Listen, " said Enos Hlophe, "I've heard the news about your friend, Shakes. I heard he's got that disease that kills people. AIDS."
"Who told you that, Enos?" Asked Mike.
"A guy i met at Gertrude's this weekend. Listen, broe, you've been hanging around with him a lot lately. That means you've probably got it too. I don't think it's a good idea for you to be playing with this team right now."
Mike was shocked. "What do mean, Enos? You don't know anything about AIDS. Vusi explained to me that you can't get it from talking to someone who has it, or from just drinking with them," he explained.

Mike's comment fell on deaf ears. The world AIDS had got the whole team upset. They all started shooting and arguing with Mike. Sitting on the grandstand, Vusi saw the uproar. Although he was too far away to hear what was being said, he guessed what it was all about. He decided it might be better for Mike if wasn't around right then, so he got up to leave. Enos saw Vusi walking away from the grandstand and shouted after him.
"That's right, get away from here. And take your filthy disease with you! Do you want to kill us all?"

By the time Coach arrived, Mike caught in the middle of an angry crowd of players.
"What the hell's going on here?" He shouted at them.
"Shakes Ngwenya had AIDS, Coach," said Enos.

"So,Vusi, do you think this All Stars team is
better than the other side that won the championship?"
"Hey, broe, we had some great players in that side. That first year we won the championship, we were only beaten once that whole season. You should ask Enos Hlophe and W***y Chilenga. they were in the team than, although Enos was on the bench most of the time."
"Okay, Man, but you guys never made it to the final of the Superbowl,"replied Mike.
"Ja, but your team never won the championship. We did. Twice!"

"Just wait until next season, man. Once we've won the Superbowl throphy, picking up the league championship will be easy."
The two men drank their beers and talked about the game of football that they both loved so much. Teddy Pendergrass and withney Houston gave away to the sound of Yvonne Chaka Chaka and Chicco, as Gertrud's place began to fill up with it usual late-night crowd. Soon it was nearly Ten o'clock. Mike, worn out from playing that day, said he needed to go home and rest.

"Good idea, man,"said Vusi. "I don't have much
energy myself, these days."
As Mike and Vusi began to move through the
crowd towards the door, one of the people drinking at the counter suddenly recognised Mike. "Hey, Strikeforce, the hero of All Stars' big win today. What are doing here?" the man asked.
"Celebrating, broe, having a little drink
with another All Stars hero, Shakes Ngwenya." said Mike.
"What, drinking with Shakes?" said the man. "Hey, man, haven't you heard the story? They say that man's got AIDS.

The word hit Mike like a fist. AIDS. "No way,
that's not true. Not Vusi, never!" He turned to Vusi, expecting him to deny the accusation. But the look on Vusi's face told Mike the terrible truth. Mike Stambled out of the shebeen into the cold
night air. He did not know whether to feel sorry for Vusi or angry with him for not telling him.
"But AIDS, Vusi! How can you even hang around
with me? Do you want me to get too?"
"You can't just get it like that. What do you really know about it anyway?"

"Vusi, only the Hostel people get it, man, or those tsotsis that sleep with all kind of loose woman. You're a hero, man. . . one of the best football players i've ever seen!"
"Aai, you don't know how wrong you are, Mike.
Anybody can get it. Ten years ago i was starting to make a big name for myself in football. i was one of the players who helped the Stars to win the league for the first time. In those days i had everything. I had money,

Always there's an enemy who hides behind the name "Friend", take it from me. 🤞Betrayal never comes from enemies but 'Frenemies'.

☝️And remember that in word "Fri{end}" there's "End", that means it can end anytime. I rather create brother/sister's instead of a friend. 🙅‍♂️
