He is a soccer icon in the African continent; a lover of the game and a true son of motherland. A budding footballer whose career was cut short by a knee injury. South African former SuperSport presenter Thomas Mlambo ditched his first degree course in law at third year to pursue his other passion for the beautiful game in the media

In an official statement by his former employer Super sport via the social platform Twitter few days ago which goes thus "@SuperSportTV: To confirm, Thomas Mlambo's SuperSport contract concludes at the end of March and we have decided not renew. We wish him well."

Mlambo has since pitched tent with another South African giant television network SABC. We wish him all the best in his career forthwith.

He will surely be missed, he brought so much life and color to Soccer Africa and football analysis on Supersports. Between I wonder why he left, I am sure it was about money. He will be missed.

He will be sorely missed. How I love seeing him on the screen. Supersport have lost a gem.

In house info says, not really about the money, but most staffers were not happy with the way management handled the Mohamodu Gaye incident

He should resume fully at SABC in April. Here is a link to his twitter page where he confirmed it

Ogbeche77: In house info says, not really about the money, but most staffers were not happy with the way management handled the Mohamodu Gaye incident

Please can you gimme a hint of what happen between hin and Gaye? I don't think I heard the gist

Gaye was suspended for blasting Kalusha Bwalya in the studio for supporting Hayatou as the sole candidate for the CAF Presidential election. Alot of people were not happy with the way Gaye was treated.
We'll dwefinitely miss Mlambo and Gaye on supersport. Great guys. Love their debates.
Hope they get someone else to argue with Peterside. It's always so interesting watching them.

Aww so he's gone for good . Was surprised when I didn't see the vibrant, articulate sports enthusiast when I tuned in to soccer Africa last week. He'll be missed for sure, wish him all the best in his endeavours. They has to be more to why he decided to quit tho, we'll probably never know.

What. Is this a joke or something. What da. Who watches SABC. He's gone from an international to a regional platform. That's a waste. Sure will miss him. If Kalusha is behind all this then he's lost all respect.

So sad to see him leave ss. Soccer Africa's ratings gonna drop like crazy, heard about d Gaye-Kalusha beaf during AFCON. Its very strange a promising broadcaster would leave an international platform for a local one, something is definitely fishy here. Wishing him all d best

I watched soccer africa yesterday and it was te driest have seen ever. Without Thomas and Mamadou, soccer africa is dead.

Oh my God! Y naa... Mamadou & Mlambo gone? Who will Peterside argue with?Soccer Africa,my best show on tv is dead.

Hmmm.

Gaye gone? No wonder .but cant a journalist give his honest opinion about africa football.sad for africa football.africa, caf grow up.

Thomas Mlambo and Robert Marawa are my two best presenters in the whole world.

I have wondered for several months about why he ever stopped anchoring Soccer Africa. I suddenly got angry about it today, searched Google and found this.

Mlambo wey no like naija,will miss his bald head sha.
Good analyst unless Naija is playing SA.

I knew Gaye will have tons of problem over that honest statement,reason African football is on a back pedal.

Thomas is one prime culprits of a xenophobic saffer,he hate naija to the core!

Really sad he left ss.. .. . Hopefully he will make a come back in future.. Already following on twitter.

Great Guy. I Always Liked How He Pronounced Sfax When The Nations Cup Was Played In Tunisia
