Edward Manqele (born June 16, 1987 in Randfontein, Gauteng) is a South African football (soccer) striker for Premier Soccer League club Free State Stars.
Personal
He hails from Mohlakeng near Randfontein. His name is also sometimes spelled (incorrectly) as "Mnqele" owing to an error on his passport. He has explained: "My name is Jabulani Edward Manqele, but Home Affairs made a mistake when I got my ID … they omitted the ‘A’ in my surname. As a result, in my passport my surname is ‘Mnqele’, which is wrong."
Club career
Manqele was signed by Free State Stars from Vodacom League side Trabzon FC in 2011. He scored 11 league goals in his first season with Stars and became the transfer target of several of the top PSL sides, among them Kaizer Chiefs and Orlando Pirates.
On 22 June 2012, Manqele joined Mamelodi Sundowns on a five-year deal.[1]
Manqele joined Moroka Swallows on a one-year loan, in August 2013.[2]
International career
As a result of his performances in the league, he won his first international cap for Bafana Bafana team in a friendly match against Senegal on 29 February 2012.[3]
