That TS Galaxy have been amongst the best teams in the DStv Premiership this season is no surprise. They have had the same coach in Sead Ramovic for the last three seasons and maintained a consistent squad that has gelled into a well-oiled machine. A key cog in that machine has been former Marumo Gallants player Thato Khiba. The pintsized star, in his first season with The Rockets, has been restored to his natural position as a midfielder, a place where he earned his nickname ‘General’. Khiba has been a marvel for the Mpumalanga-based side, and continued his rich vein of form that he displayed with Gallants last season. Speaking to Soccer Laduma’s Delmain Faver, the 27-year-old sheds light on his bright campaign so far and being restored to his natural position.
Delmain Faver: Thato, thanks for speaking to us again. You are closing in on a year as a TS Galaxy player, how would you describe your time with The Rockets so far?
Thato Khiba: My journey as a TS Galaxy player has been exciting. From the day I went to sign, the chairman (Tim Sukazi) was very welcoming, and I saw in him, I’d have a father away from home. The coach, his technical team as well as the players, have been a great support system. I truly feel at home.
