Former Kaizer Chiefs and Bafana Bafana midfielder Siphiwe Tshabalala just reminded Mzansi why he’s still the blueprint for class and cool — both on and off the pitch. The 2010 FIFA World Cup icon posted a slick set of snaps on Instagram, proudly showing off his R500,000 Toyota Corolla and pairing the ride with a set of designer sneakers that had fans buzzing.
Known for his iconic left foot and unforgettable goal against Mexico, Shabba flexed like a boss in front of his pristine, spaceship-like Corolla. One photo even zoomed in on his crisp designer tekkies, and it wasn’t long before sneakerheads and fashion lovers took over the comments.
Mzansi couldn’t stop talking about his clean aesthetic — and the comments came in hot with flames, heart emojis, and admiration for the football veteran’s timeless style.
