Mamelodi Sundowns wonderkid Siyabonga Mabena is trending after he allegedly showed off a lush home he is reportedly building in an Instagram post.
Thanks to his huge social media following, he often trends whenever he posts. The celebrated youngster took to Instagram stories to share photos of a house that is under construction.
MAMELODI SUNDOWNS STAR SIYABONGA MABENA ALLEGEDLY BUILDING A HOUSE
Popular football blog Mzansi Football shared the photos as they confirmed the news.
Against the now-deleted post, fans were more than convinced that the Mamelodi Sundowns star was building a house.
Despite the rumoured house making all sorts of headlines, the star has yet to address the reports.
However, judging from the pictures, the house is now taking shape despite the builders not having started working on the walls to reach the window level.
Little is known about how many rooms Siyabonga Mabena’s rumoured house location. The photos have gained thousands of comments and reactions since they dropped online.
Fans were quick to flood social media feeds with their two cents. Over the years, footballers have splurged thousands, if not millions, on their lives of glitz and glamour.
Some have invested big in houses thanks to their big contracts, signing on fees and performance-based bonuses.
The Mamelodi Sundowns star joins a host of South African footballers who are building.
A few months ago, Orlando Pirates shot-stopper Melusi Buthelezi topped trends when it was revealed that he was building in his rural home.
However, the star did not openly confirm the news like those before him.
Against the news, he seemingly shared photos showing a sneak peek of a house under construction. The house, which was now on the roof level, boasts modern designs and several rooms.
