Mngani wa yena

A Tsonga term for "his friend / her friend" that is apparently used to identify unknown soccer players by commentators.

They would call all the names of the "famous" players and when they reach the unknown player, they would say mngani wa yena (his friend).
Example

And he passes the ball to Jabu Pule... Jabu Pule passes to mngani wa yena.
