Age of Mamelodi Sundowns star Grant Kekana shocks SA

Mamelodi Sundowns star Grant Kekana recently turned a year older and social media was full of heartfelt birthday messages.

Despite being one of the most famous Premier League players of his era, the Mamelodi Sundowns star has managed to keep his private life under wraps, leaving many people guessing.

GRANT KEKANA’S AGE REVEALED

Thanks to his huge following on social media, Grant Kekana often trends whenever he posts or is published.

On Instagram, Mamelodi Sundowns posted: “Wishing Grant Kekana a very happy birthday as he celebrates his special day today! Have a nice day, Zeda.

However, against the post, the South African made the connection on his age. The 32-year-old was born on October 31, 1992 in Polokwane, South Africa.

Mzansi was intrigued by Grant Kekana’s age. Others were more than convinced he was in great shape.

Without a doubt, fans were more than convinced that the star was in the final years of his playing career. He joins a host of footballers who recently celebrated their birthday.

In October, former Mamelodi Sundowns star Bongani Zungu turned a year older. The 32-year-old was born on the East Rand in 1992 in Duduza, west of Nigel.

CAREER

Grant Kekana began his youth career at the University of Pretoria. However, he was later promoted to the senior team. In 2010, he joined SuperSport United. He has made over 30 appearances.

In 2013, Grant Kekana left SuperSport United for the University of Pretoria. However, in 2015 he had his second dance with SuperSport United.

After over 90 appearances for the club, he moved to Mamelodi Sundowns in 2021.

MAKE THE HEADLINE

He made headlines despite keeping his private life under wraps. His links with Economic Freedom Fighters (EFF) Leader Julius Malema has often propelled him into major trends.

The EFF president welcomed Bafana Bafana to the OR Tambo International Airport earlier this year after finishing third in Africa’s biggest football tournament – the Africa Cup of Nations.

Malema praised Kekana and said he had always been his brother and had known him since he was young.

“He is my young man, and so are all; they are my younger brothers. The same relationship and support given to Grant is the same I would give to all of them.

“They are a special type of people who made the decision to go and represent our country,” Malema said.
