PICTURES: Orlando Pirates star shows off new car?

Popular football blog Mzansi Football set social media abuzz after it revealed that Orlando Pirates’ stocky midfielder Paseka ‘Computer’ Mako had added a new whip to his impressive fleet.

The news has undoubtedly thrust the Orlando Pirates star into the top trends, with many flooding social media with congratulatory messages.

ORLANDO PIRATES STAR SHOWS OFF NEW CAR

According to the blog, Paseka Mako took to Instagram Stories to share photos and videos of his new whip.

Since they were posted online, photos of the star posing next to the car have received thousands of comments and reactions. The blog revealed that the star bought a new GAC GS3 EMZOOM R-Style.

Thanks to its luxury on wheels, the Chinese automobile has quickly become one of the most preferred SUVs among many celebrities and footballers.

Against the post, the rumour mill has since confirmed its base price tag of over half a million in several dealerships around South Africa.

However, despite the alleged purchase, the Orlando Pirates star has yet to confirm the news openly.

No doubt, Paseka Mako joins a host of footballers who have splurged thousands, if not millions, on some of the world’s flashiest cars.

After all, this is not the first time he has topped trends with his flashiest whips. In 2020, Paseka Mako showed off a classy Mercedes-Benz A-Class similar to Siyabonga Mpontshane’s whip.

Little is known about the car’s price tag, but it is listed for at least R500 000 in several dealerships in South Africa.

He joins a host of Orlando Pirates stars who have set social media abuzz with their flashiest whips. Earlier this month, Relebohile Mofokeng made headlines when photos of his Golf flooded online.

CAREER

Paseka Mako had his shot to fame during his youth career with Mamelodo Sundowns Development Academy.

From the development academy, he switched the floor to Cape Town All Stars, marking his senior career.

He joined Cape Town Stars during the 2015/2016 season. He left for Chippa United with 50 caps and two goals in his debut season.
