His death came just three weeks before he was due to turn 30.
It was a life taken away so early yet having left so many memories in domestic football that he had also been nicknamed Black Jesus for what he could do with the ball at his feet.
He was always known as the magician from Katlehong whose arrogance on the ball was second to none.
Misunderstood by some yet loved by many what cannot be discounted is that he brought the entertainment value to domestic football.
Whenever he played it was just as difficult not to notice him.
Lanky, dark in complexion, a customary sluggish run and with a look in his eyes that shouted let s get it on , Ngobese made the ball talk when it was at his feet.

Dikgang Mabalane says there is little difference between the mighty Amakhosi and relegation-threatened Tshakuma Tsha Madzivhandila in terms of performance this season.
Vhadau Vha Damani are second from the bottom on the 16-clubs DStv Premiership table and are left with only six matches to save themselves.
Soweto giants Kaizer Chiefs, meanwhile, are also struggling to get into the top eight after a poor 2020/21 season. But my problem with the likes of Tshakhuma, [Black] Leopards, is that they only play well when facing big teams, television pundit Mabalane tells
KickOff.com. You can t think like that as a player, especially when you are in desperation for points. Any three points is valuable for them, so it shouldn t be only against Chiefs, Pirates and Sundowns. They won t have luck all the time. It s a risk to raise your game only when you are playing Chiefs.
Former Orlando Pirates and Jomo Cosmos winger Dikgang Mabalane has explained the meaning of his popular nickname Terminator .
The name originates from a famous Arnold Schwarzenegger movie in 1984 about a robot that is sent back in time to stop a Cyborg. You know this nickname it got a lot of irony in it, Mabalane tells
KickOff.com. Some people when I meet them they say We were expecting to see a giant. A big strong person. Then I have to explain No this name Terminator is from eKasi. It was given to me by somebody who was actually a movie fanatic. I wish I could see that guy again you know, I don t know where he is.I last saw him all those years ago.

In the end it took some backs-to-the-wall defending from Sundowns in the final 20 minutes of the game, which as Modise points out, highlights the fact that, although Masandawana are known for their free-flowing attacking play, they also have the tools to dig in and grind out victories when needed. Mamelodi Sundowns proved today that can defend. They did well, especially later on when the system required them to defend,” Modise said in his role as a
SuperSport TV analyst. “Credit should go to Sundowns, defensively they did well. I thought they were very defensive, but also because the game required them to do so, because we all know how dangerous Pirates are in transition.
