Siphiwe Tshabalala reveals his first salary
Retired Bafana Bafana and Kaizer Chiefs star Siphiwe Tshabalala is proof that how you start in life does not determine your future. The football star who is probably worth millions disclosed to his fans how much he used to earn two decades ago.
Taking to his Instagram stories, Siphiwe Tshabalala told his fans that his first job was just R200 back in 2014. He obviously also thinks it was too little as he described it as “mere”. He asked:
“My first salary was a mere R200 back in 2004; how much was your first salary?”
