"I went on my phone and I googled how much it cost.

"I saw that bag and I looked at my salary and I was like, 'Hell no, I still have a long way to go.'

"You see, so those things were the ones that made me to always wanted to achieve more, to push more. 

"Because you asked about the hunger, like having played for both Chiefs and Pirates, like it's all about the burning desire within you.

"Like, there's one that I wasn't even looking into but that just happened through my hard work. I'm in the top 10 all-time goal scorers in the League."  

Over a glistening career, Majoro represented various South African clubs that include the likes of Highlands Park, AmaZulu, Kaizer Chiefs, Orlando Pirates, Cape Town City and Bidvest Wits.
