While we cannot confirm that it was indeed a trade-in, it is evident that the player now rolls around in the newer generation Polo - moving from the Mk5 Polo (2009-2014) to the Mk6 Polo (2017-2020).
Sibanyoni's Mk6 Polo
His new Mk6 is the first Polo generation that is not available with a 3-door body style, leaving the player with no choice but to appreciate a more spacious car. It is also easy to note that the current University of Pretoria star is a lover of the Volkswagen brand, and this is a sentiment that not only footballers but many South Africans also share, as VW is easily one of the most popular car-makers in the country.
Sibanyoni's Mk6 PoloThe forward opted for a different paint this time, abandoning the black colour for a modern limestone grey look. Both versions are known for an excellent driving experience thanks to VW's specialty in performance and convenience. In comparison, the exterior of Sibanyoni's new Polo looks for more expressive than his former ride, as the new one boasts cool grille with fog lights that is aesthetically ideal for a sports car. The interior of the newer Mark6 is snazzy and compact and makes for a perfect connection between driver and machine.
