Siyethemba Sithebe – $150k

Siyethemba Sithebe is quiet. He goes about his business on the pitch with distinct excellence but not a hint of bravado, and so he lets his feet and flicks do the talking.  However, he has been considered a rejected gem, but his courage does not roar, it is the small voice that says try again.

Joey Antipas, the coach of AmaZulu, a local South African Premier Football Club, believes that The Good Lord works in mysterious ways. Why? Because Sithebe, the once overlooked gem, has now become a cornerstone for the football side.
