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. – READ THE FULL STORY HERE.
