Kaizer Chiefs rising star Mfundo Vilakazi has revealed his plans for the R100,000 prize money he received after being voted Champion Player of the Match in the Carling Knockout Cup quarter-final against Siwelele FC.

The 20-year-old attacking midfielder, popularly known as “Obrigado” impressed supporters during Chiefs’ 2-1 comeback victory over Siwelele at Peter Mokaba Stadium in Polokwane. His performance earned him the prestigious individual award, with fans recognising his contribution to the team’s victory.

In a video shared on social media on Monday Vilakazi disclosed, that he intends to use the R100,000 to build two rooms. His decision has attracted positive attention, particularly from football supporters who appreciated his focus on investing in property rather than spending his earnings on luxury items.

Vilakazi’s plans demonstrate financial awareness at a young age, especially considering the unpredictable nature of professional football careers.

The young midfielder continues to develop under Kaizer Chiefs coach Fernando Da Cruz, and is gradually establishing himself as an important member of the first team.

His latest achievement is another reminder that success on the football pitch, can also create opportunities for building a secure future beyond the game.
