Other interesting info:

That is, until I heard that Abel “Jazzman” Sono has heard the last jazz note, has taken his last free kick and will never execute a bicycle kick anymore. Bobobo died at the Kalafong hospital in Atteridgeville on Monday morning and once again, football has been robbed of a great man who contributed immensely to the development of the game.

I was still a laaitie growing up in Selbourne Side or Saulsville, when I first saw “Bobobo” in action at the hostel grounds situated a stone’s throw from the Saulsville Railway Station. He played with his elder brother Russia Sono on the right wing in the colours of Pretoria All Stars.

10. THE BOMB EXPLOSION AT SAULSVILLE RAILWAY STATION

This happened on 5 June 1988, being carried out by Ramadite, Maleka and Mathe. It was on a Sunday and trains were expected not to be too busy. The blast was intended to coincide with a stay-away which was to commence the following day. Nobody was injured and the train (No. 9018) was damaged by the Russian made 158 mini limpet mine which had been placed inside.
