Cape Town City Star Thabo Nodada Praises Teammate Akosah-Bempah For Helping Him Cope With Fame

Cape Town City star Thabo Nodado says his Ghanaian teammate Nana Akosah-Bempah has helped him cope with fame in the South African Premier Soccer League.

South African midfielder Nodada who is enjoying a meteoric rise in the Premier Soccer League confesses that sometimes he struggles to handle fame.

Nodada has established himself as one of the key players for City. Last season he was voted as the Cape side's player of the season.

A candid Nodada admits that, sporadically, fame goes to his head but his roommate Nana Akosah-Bempah has been helpful in helping him carry himself around.

"It's overwhelming. Sometimes it [fame] goes to my head but being close to senior players like Aubrey Ngoma, Lebogang Manyama and Lehlohonolo Majoro helps me," said Nodada.

"They tell me to stay humble and focused. Without them, I wouldn't have managed to remain grounded."

"I spend most of my spare time indoors with Nana-Akosah Bempah enjoying PlayStation games. Cape Town is beautiful, so we have many options such as beaches and hiking," he said.
