Jabu Jeremiah Mahlangu (formerly Jabu Jeremiah Pule) (born 11 July 1980 in Daveyton, Gauteng) is a retired South African football (soccer) midfielder who last played for Supersport United. 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. Although being considered a hugely talented, he often had numerous off-field and disciplinary issues in the past.
Most of his troublesome behavior was attributed to drinking alcohol.
In the height of his professional football he impregnated the Willowmore High School girl, Twhana Songame - now his wife of two children.
He has since said that the cause of his alcohol addiction was his mother's death. Jabu Mahlangu had the humility to suggest that she leaves him when he hit rock bottom. He attributes himself being clean and sober from alcohol to her.
He says she encouraged him to join the Super Sport channel as a soccer analyst.
