Siyabonga Dube – $140k

Lamontville’s Golden Arrows right-back is named Siyabonga Dube. It means “Thank You”. Most of the time, soccer players run with the materialistic trend, buying fast cars and big houses. Not Dube, who has bucked the trend by continuing to use public transport and bought his mother a house.

He says that he would not have made it to top-flight soccer if not for the sacrifices his mother had made. Dube grew up in a difficult place, and he needed a good parent. He stayed true to his first name and returned his gratitude.
