One-on-one with Ntombi Ngcobo!

Posted in News on Aug 25, 2010.

In celebrating the month of August being Women’s Month, Kaizer Chiefs have lined up an entertainment lineup that pays tribute to women of South Africa and also keep the Amakhosi Faithful on their feet before and in between enjoying the mouth watering clash between Kaizer Chiefs and Golden Arrows.



The marketing team caught up with Ntombi Ngcobo of Amaponi fame, who will be performing songs from her debut solo album (The Birth of Popra) at the match for a qui ck on-on-one.



Have you ever been to a soccer match and sat on the open stands?


Yes, I even went to some of the World Cup matches and I always enjoy myself.



“Women who don’t attend matches are actually losing out, as there is so much excitement in the open stands compared to the suites” said Ntombi, who also added that South African women have a lot to from female supporters who attended the 2010 World Cup matches as the experience united people from all walks of life.



What is your reason for attending soccer matches?


“At first it was purely because of the hot soccer players, but as time went on I started enjoying the game because I started understanding the rules more and more” said a visibly exited Ntombi, who also stressed that she now fully understands the rules as she also plays for the Kaizer Chiefs Female Celebrity team.



What do you think the score will be on Saturday?


Kaizer Chiefs 3 (Tshabalala, Lucky Khune, Ngcobo) – Golden Arrows 0


“Sthembiso Ngcobo must outdo himself, not just because we share the same surname, but also the fact that since coming to Chiefs, he has shown a lot of potential and dedication to the Club.”



Who is your favourite Kaizer Chiefs player in the current squad?


“Reneilwe Letsholonyane and Siphiwe Tshabalala are arguably the best players in South Africa at the moment.”



What is your favouirte soccer player celebration?


“I enjoy the “Show them celebration” (when players dance a rehearsed routine)”



If you were a soccer player, which position would you play?


“I would be a striker, simply because I like taking responsibility and also being the star of a team” (giggling).



Would you exchange soccer jerseys with other players after the match?


“Yes, I actually would because it shows supporters that soccer is not about war but is a game of love and peace, just like the Kaizer Chiefs motto.”



What is your favourite Kaizer Chiefs memory?


“Even though he was doing duty for the nation at the time, but Siphiwe Tshabalala”s goal in the opening match of the 2010 FIFA World Cup will always be one of my finest memories, as a Kaizer Chiefs player he united the nation.



“Another one is when Kaizer Chiefs won against Orlando Pirates in the 2010 Telkom Charity Cup, simply because beating Pirates always feels good no matter what the occasion.”



Spy two or Tsamaya?


“The tsamaya will always rock because there”s so many ways of doing it and I also enjoy watching opponents being mesmerized by it.”



What can you promise the Kaizer Chiefs supporters who will come to the match?


“The supporters who will be at the game can expect nothing but an electrifying performance that they have never seen before and I”ll make sure I keep them on their feet, as I warm the stage for the match.”



Gates at the stadium open at 17:0 and the match will kick-off at 20:15.



See you on Saturday at the Rand Stadium!
