In this edition of Where Are They Now, KickOff catches up with former Kaizer Chiefs and Mamelodi Sundowns defender Johannes 'Bricks' Mudau.
Who am I:
"I played for Sundowns for about nine years before I went to spend three years at Chiefs.
"I was the first captain to lift a trophy at Sundowns. I was part of the team that won three trophies from 1988 to 1990.
"And when I joined Chiefs in 1992 we won the BobSave Super Bowl trophy and the league."
My playing days:
"I think I did the best I could at the time. I was a regular at both Chiefs and Sundowns. I don't have regrets.
"I achieved many trophies compared to most players who played in my era."
Did I make money from soccer:
"Never. During my first three years at Sundowns, I was earning R30 a week. That was from 1983.
"And in late 1985, when Zola Mahobe came in at Sundowns, he increased it by R10. There was also a R10 win bonus. But if you didn't play that weekend you got nothing.
"It wasn't a lot of money even during those days because I had a family to take care of, my father, my sister, my younger brother... The money was too little.
"I couldn't save any money because what they used to pay me was a case of living from hand to mouth. I was the only one working."
Where I'm living:
"I'm staying in Soshanguve, I have kids, but they are not staying with me. Some have grown, I just keep in touch with them."
Jobs since I stopped playing the game:
"I was once at the Sundowns development program, but as you know, in life, when you tell the truth, you will always be left alone. I was chucked out because I was telling the truth.
"I'm not a yes-man type of person. I always try to do things the right way."
My current job:
"I have the Bricks Modau Foundation, and I'm now starting my academy. We're dealing with the development of children. We are just trying to keep them away from all the wrong stuff while teaching them the values of life.
"Education is more important than anything."
If I could do it again:
"I don't think there's anything I'd change in my football career. Unfortunately, we were born too early when there was no money in football. So I couldn't save money that would have sustained me for keeps."
