Thuso Phala born 27 May 1986 in Soweto, Gauteng is a South African football midfielder.
He currently plays for Premier Soccer League club SuperSport United and South Africa.

Mandela has been described as the architect of the 2010 World Cup by FIFA president Sepp Blatter, and the head of the football world governing body was correct.
"You are the true architect of this FIFA World Cup; your presence and commitment made it happen. Now the first African FIFA World Cup is reality," explained Blatter while handing over the trophy to Mandela at a press conference in 2010.
