“In my teenage years, I always went to Orlando and Pirates, we could identify with Jomo (Sono) and a lot of the guys who were there and they always had a diversified team," Johnson told Khanye.

Johnson added that Pirates, always had diverse players back in the day.

"If you were going to Orlando and the police stop and ask, ‘What are you doing here?’ We would lie and say, ‘no no, I’m going to watch my uncle’. Pirates always had a mixture of players.”

Johnson, who was initially hired as the head of the academy at Chiefs, took over as head coach of Kaizer Chiefs after the sacking of Molefe Ntseki.

He then led the team to a disappointing 10th-place finish in the league. Following the club’s poor performance, Johnson was not retained as coach, and is currently without a job.
