Katlego Sekhu

Former Bafana Bafana and Mamelodi Sundowns striker Katlego Mphela, has embarked on an unexpected journey as a car salesman, much to the surprise of South Africans. However, his initiative has earned applause for charting a unique post-football path, unlike many retired players who go broke.
“Good day Ladies and Gentlemen. For any brand new Vw Cars please contact me and i will be happy to assist. Numbers on the flyer.”
Speaking to Metro FM recently, Mphela dispelled rumours that he was broke and moved back home.
“I am living comfortably, but of course not earning the same money as when I was playing. I won’t live the same way, obviously. I am just an ordinary guy now. I knew there was going to be a reaction, but I believe 80 percent of the comments were positive. I did this because I’ve seen how former players struggle, but don’t want to come out of their comfort zones. I am hoping this will encourage them to venture into other things after football – there’s a stigma around this.”
