Tshabala played a vital role in Mzansi's football history
As a player at Mamelodi Sundowns in the 1980s, Tshabalala earned the nickname 'Screamer' due to his constant calling for the ball.
Screamer was also the first man to coach Bafana, currently led by Hugo Broos, in their first official match in 1992.
The 75-year-old has a top job at Pirates, but he is a founding member of Kaizer Chiefs alongside Kaizer Motaung, who has recently come under scrutiny due to his children holding top positions at the club.
