Former Orlando Pirates striker Thulasizwe Mbuyane, popularly known as 'Juju', is determined to continue serving his community as he takes his first steps into the political arena.

Mbuyane, who previously made his name in South African football, has gradually become involved in politics, showing an interest in contributing to the development of his community beyond his successful playing career.

The former Buccaneers forward is reportedly ready to remain active in community service even after the Local Government Elections, suggesting that his interest in politics goes beyond the election period.

His involvement in community affairs marks a new chapter in his life after spending several years making a name for himself on the football pitch.

Mbuyane is remembered by Orlando Pirates supporters for his contribution during his playing days at the club. However, he now appears focused on using his influence and experience to make a difference outside football.

His decision to continue his political journey beyond the elections also highlights his intention to remain connected with the people he hopes to serve.

For the former Pirates striker, the journey from professional football to community and political involvement represents a significant change in direction, as he explores another way of contributing to society.
