In an interview with FARPost, Thibedi believes it's a blessing to be able to get back to playing good football, and he's grateful to coach at Orbit College for believing in his talent.

The former Kaizer Chiefs midfielder says he’s feeling optimistic about the journey ahead and could be possibly playing in the Betway Premiership next season if they secure qualification.

“I’m truly thankful to God for giving me another chance to get back on the pitch. I won’t lie, I’m very happy here at Orbit College. So far, everything is going well, and I have no complaints.”
