“There are different styles of leadership,” Mashamaite explained on the Jabu Mahlangu Diski Shandis YouTube Channel, as quoted by Soccer Laduma.
“Some leaders are upfront and vocal, saying, ‘let’s go and do this!’ Others lead by quietly spreading positive energy without saying much.
“I believe I fall into the latter category, I lead by example. Most of the guys I’ve played with wouldn’t describe me as ‘nice’ because once I’m on the pitch, I become a different person.”
Mashamaite then reflected on the qualities that make a successful captain, not only at the two Soweto giants but at any club.

“What makes a great team captain? I recall players I’ve played with, no names, but I’ve pushed them so strongly on the field that I made them cry,” he added.
“I have strong communication skills, but once the whistle blows, I transform into someone completely different from the person off the field.
“It’s about knowing when to speak up, when to assert yourself, and when to step back. But the key trait is leading by example and always giving your best.”

"He must stay away from penalties please man . There’s no way a defender can be technically better than attacking players with penalties."

"Good leadership but a ska tseya di penalty."
Gabojust shared:
"This is a big mistake. He would have chosen Brandon Peterson. Miquel is all fingers and thumbs making aggressive tackles. He's hot-tempered, and I anticipate suspensions very often. Brandon has been disciplined, and his game has improved a lot. I am impressed.#Amakhosi4Life."
MellyTedo13026 commented:
"Nabi believes in more in Foreign Players than in local players. ⚠️ He wants to turn Chiefs into a Tanzanian Club! 🚨🚨🚨."
Tebogo_cfc reacted:
"But kaizer chiefs needs a permanent penalty tacker not him please."
