FORMER Kaizer Chiefs midfielder Junior Khanye will use his second chance to teach others.
The Daveyton-born sensation, popularly known as Fak' Imali Uzobona, was scouted by Soweto giants Chiefs at age 17.
The dribbling wizard won 10 Man of the Match awards for his first 10 appearances wearing an Amakhosi jersey.
The youngster version of Khanye grew a big head because of fame, and after two seasons, he was released because of ill-discipline.
The 38-year-old was the youngest and best football star in Mzansi and had the world at his feet at the time, but it all disappeared like smoke in the air.
The great news is that the football analyst has bagged a new reality TV show, Fixing the Game: Junior Khanye, coming soon on Mzansi Wethu.
The show will premiere on 11 July at 6.30pm.

Khanye will let the public into his life as he tries to pick himself up.
The former footballer lost it all during his heydays, and he's excited to be getting another chance to fix where he has failed.
“I know that not everyone gets an opportunity and platform like this one, and I know it’s God’s way of helping me teach other people about making the right choices in life.
“I'm honoured and humbled and through this show, I want to be an example that every change you want in your life starts with you," Khanye said.
The channel director for local entertainment channels, Shirley Adonisi, said everyone loves a good comeback story and Fixing the Game is one that they hope viewers will enjoy.
“We bring reality shows like this one not just for entertainment, but hopefully for valuable lessons from some of the most admired public personalities and how they navigate this game called life.”
The reality show will have 14 episodes.
The show will not only focus on Khanye’s life on the field, but his life in general as he'll be trying to win back the heart of his first love and fixing the relationship that will benefit his kids, family, and career.
