Gabadinho Mhango has been called out for his lawless ways with a disturbing video of the Malawian allegedly under the influence doing the rounds.
Now doing duty for Marumo Gallants – the seventh club that he has played for in the PSL in just over a decade – Mhango was caught on video in a motor vehicle with blood on his forehead after being involved in an accident.

The 32-year-old was with women and allegedly under the influence of alcohol.
This is not the first incident that Mhango has been involved in having been engulfed in another while at Orlando Pirates.
"We have seen a clip of the video and, to be honest, it is worrying to see one of our own caught up with such," says former Mamelodi Sundowns and Wits University midfielder Chancy Gondwe.
Gondwe relates to such as he has a tainted past, which involved womanizing and binge drinking during his time in Johannesburg, before repenting to become a pastor.
"It doesn't give a good picture of him to be seen in such videos when we have youngsters looking up to him.
"Gabadinho is our God here (in Malawi), but such behaviour is really disappointing, to say the least.
"The people here in Malawi love the boy as he is a fan-favourite, but he just doesn't need this, especially now towards the end of his career.
"People love the negative and this incident will now be all over instead of what he does on the field.
"If that incident didn't involve a public figure, it wouldn't have gone viral like it has done now, so as a public figure, you must watch what you do.
"(Ernest) Mtawali always speaks to him and warning him about these habits, but it seems the boy has his own ideas.
"Self-control is important, and such is avoidable if you don't want to end up as a fool.

"It hasn't given a good picture at all, and it is worrying knowing very well that here in the national team, we have sessions on alcohol, womanizing and mindset change in football," says Gondwe.
Mhango has scored once in the three matches that he has played for Marumo Gallants this season but missed out the win against AmaZulu FC on Saturday.
