>With a sparkling smile that could light up even the dimmest corner of the darkest wrestling arena in the country, Masambula headlined bills throughout his entire career, right from his 1952 debut through to the tragic televised climax in 1975. When Masambula was on the bill there was no doubt who fans would be talking about as they left the hall. Talking with smiles on their faces. The full length leopardskin, the huge grin, the celebratory headstand on the corner post, the straggly limbs that seemed unconnected, the large rolling eyes with the hint of voodoo magic, the ready quips; Masambula gave us much to talk about.
