Family remains at the heart of Mfundo Vilakazi’s story, even as the Kaizer Chiefs attacking midfielder earns attention for his performances on the pitch.

The player known in football circles as "Obrigado" was recently seen spending time with his maternal grandmother, whom he regards as one of his biggest supporters. A photo shared on Instagram showed Vilakazi driving her to church. She wore a blue-and-white church uniform, reflecting a bond that appears to be a source of strength in his life.

Vilakazi has become a more dependable starter under head coach Fernando Da Cruz and is enjoying a strong spell in his career. But moments like this offer a reminder that behind the football headlines are family ties and people who support players beyond the game. In a world where social media often celebrates only goals and trophies, stories of care and gratitude deserve attention too.

What do you think this moment says about Vilakazi’s relationship with his grandmother?
