The irony of Ndlondlo driving a Mini Cooper

Midfielder Ndabayithethwa Ndlondlo remains a hot topic following his impressive debut appearances for Orlando Pirates against Mamelodi Sundowns, and with a lot of hype centred around the playmaker, here's a look at the car drives. 

The story

What is perhaps ironic is that the diminutive maestro drives a Mini Cooper, which in all respects is a subtly elegant and powerful car - qualities that Ndlondlo himself possess.

The 27-year-old earned a lot of praise from fans and his new manager Jose Riveiro as he completely dominated midfield during the first-leg of the Bucs' MTN8 semifinal clash against reigning champions Masandawana. 

Although his reputation has sky-rocketed over the last season or so, the attacker has been relatively lowkey having played for Marumo Gallants and AmaZulu in the South African topflight. Perhaps many would agree that he is one of the players to look out for in this season, and the more we know about the former Izinyoka FC star on and off the field, the better.

It appears that Ndlondlo drives the Mini Cooper Three-Door Hatch, which costs in the region of R 439 900 for a pre-owned vehicle, according the the brand's official South African website. The ride is one of the most distinct vehicles on the road, thanks to its compact dimensions, iconic elliptical headlights, as well as it's dynamic silhouette, which has been constant in the vehicles' 60-year history.

Even car enthusiast have very little negative to say about the car in terms of performances and aesthetics, thanks to its satisfying design and premium hatchback status.
