FORMER MAMELODI SUNDOWNS STAR MAHLAMBI SPLASHED R45 000 ON ALCOHOL

As the coach gave Mahlambi his DStv Premiership debut, aged 18, at Bidvest Wits in 2014/15, Hunt later facilitated the youngster’s move to Al Ahly.

Cairo, Egypt, was where the Louwsburg-born winger began to crash and burn.

According to Hunt, one of Mahlambi’s visits to Mzansi included a very expensive drinking spree of R45 000.

“I was at a restaurant a couple of years ago, he was at Al Ahly, he left us, they were having a good time, six mates, they always have mates because they have money – anyway, I call the waiter over, I asked what’s the bill over there, he said R45,000,” Hunt said via ThisIsFootballAfrica.

Hunted added to reveal that the former Sundowns star and his friends were buying a number of luxury cognacs.

The SuperSport United coach concluded to say he tried to have a word with Mahlambi but with low success.

WHERE IS MAHLAMBI NOW?

After returning from Egypt to rejoin Sundowns, Mahlambi’s alcohol abuse saw him move down to AmaZulu and Chippa United before he eventually became clubless since 2022, aged 26.
