This is a slightly old picture- three years old actually, but has resurfaced on the internet again this year (yes, 2018!) and is again making headlines. The pic is of Mamelodi Sundowns player Hlompho Kekana receiving 5GB internet data as his Man of the Match award! Data isn’t cheap in South Africa even today, and telecom major Telkom sponsored this prize for Kekana back in 2014.
If you’re wondering why Kekana’s name sounds familiar, you’re not alone- he scored a wonder goal against Cameroon that was a Puskas nominee
Other funny Man of the Match prizes reported from other countries include a crate of beers in Zimbabwe and sandals in Ghana.
