Chippa United defender Justice Chabalala praised the signing of veteran midfield maestro Andile Jali for his leadership on and off the field, especially with the youngsters.
Jali has fitted in like a glove in the Chippa team even scoring against his former side Orlando Pirates which they went to lose by 2-1.
The Matatiele-born hard tackler has also been labelled as an on-the-field coach by Kwanele Kopo and Chabalala is the latest person at the Chilli Boys to praise ‘AJ15’ and how he is driving the team.

“A player like Andile Jali brought a lot of changes to the team, the experience that he has, he is helping the team very well,” Chabalala told the media.
“To be honest, we can make things happen again. Andile doesn’t wait for the danger he says it before to have him. I think we are blessed and also to have his experience he shares too much.
“He likes to sit with the young players. We are always together but all the time he likes to sit with young players that they must learn, he doesn’t talk only on the field, he talks even outside the field.
“Life is not always about football, there is life after football. That makes us change, we believe that even when it’s 1-0, you like I can score two or three, so he is a person like that.”
