Normally you might expect champagne as a prize… but that’s not how things go down in South Africa.
Africa is renowned for its slightly unusual man of the match prizes, depending on its leagues’ sponsors.
In Zimbabwe, crates of beer have been dished out to several players, while you could grab yourself a pair of sandals in Ghana or a bucket of groceries in Botswana.
But in South Africa, it’s technology – namely with a chunk of mobile data, which is much more useful than it sounds at first. With broadband expensive and often unreliable in the country, many people use their 3/4G mobile data to get their fix – so handy for this lucky Mamelodi Sundowns player.
Good job Telkom.
