SAY OLÁ TO MFUNDO ‘OBRIGADO’ VILAKAZI

Obrigado is a word you’re likelier to hear in Portugal or at your nearest Vida E coffee outlet, but it’s also the nickname of a Glamour Boys superstar in the making. Mfundo ‘Obrigado’ Vilakazi is the next big thing at Naturena.

Vilakazi has shone for the development team and has long been touted for promotion to the senior side. He’s especially popular for his flamboyant dribbling skills and left foot which have impressed the first-team technical staff.
