Jabu Mahlangu height - How tall is Jabu Mahlangu?

Pule affectionately known as "Shuffle" or "Ngwana wa Tshwenya" — literally "troublesome child" — to his supporters, for his ability to turn defenders around. It was once said by SABC sport commentator that, when Pule is on song, the opposition dances. He was a crowd puller at his former and first professional team, Kaizer Chiefs.

In February 2010, Jabu returned to Växjö to try and secure a long term deal with now Superettan newcomers Östers IF. On 18 February he signed a one-year contract with the club.

The most defining moment for Jabu Mahlangu that hurt not just him but the South African Nation soccer scene as a whole came in 2010 when South Africa Hosted the FIFA World Cup. His unbecoming behavior cost him not making the selection for the National team.

Pule left the country on 23 June 2008 to Sweden for trials with Helsingborgs IF and fellow Swedish clubs IF Limhamn Bunkeflo and Östers IF after training under the guidance of Farouk Khan at his academy in South Africa.

In early 2006, Jabu Pule changed his surname to Mahlangu, the name of his deceased father.

Twice sent to a rehabilitation clinic to overcome his drinking and drugs problem, Pule was sacked by SuperSport United late 2005 after missing several training sessions.

Kaizer Chiefs was Pule's first club, where he was perennially in trouble for his wayward behaviour but forgiven on countless occasions because of his importance to the team. But Chiefs' officials lost patience with Pule and refused to give him a new contract when it ended in 2004.

He made 20 appearances for the South Africa national football team from 2000 to 2004, and was a participant at the 2002 FIFA World Cup and at the 2000 Olympic Games. during the departure for the World Cup, the president of South Africa, Thabo Mbeki, was handshaking the players wishing them good luck and when he came to Jabu he said "Jabu, you must behave yourself".
