Former Orlando Pirates and Mamelodi Sundowns star Thembinkosi Lorch is trending after he took to social media to show off his side hustle.
Thanks to his huge social media following, he often trends whenever he posts or gets posted.
EX-ORLANDO PIRATES STAR THEMBINKOSI LORCH REVEALS HIS SIDE HUSTLE
Lorch, who is enjoying his stay with Moroccan giants Wydad Casablanca, took to Instagram to share a clip of his truck, which was ‘getting ready for another hectic week.’
Rick Ross’s smash hit ‘Hustling’ played in the background as the truck was being washed. Since it was posted online, the clip has gained thousands of comments and reactions.
Fans quickly praised his side hustle, while many were convinced he was earning thousands from the lucrative trucking business.
Last year in June, Lorch made headlines when he bought his truck. With his purchase, he joined a host of South African footballers who have splurged thousands, if not millions, on trucks.
A few months after Lorch’s purchase, former Mamelodi Sundowns star Siyanda Xulu topped trends after photos posing next to his new MAN truck flooded online.
Against the viral photos, the publication noted that the former Sundowns star is making a killing in the transport industry.
Surprisingly, former Sundowns star Rheece Evans is also in transport and logistics just like Thembinkosi Lorch.
He co-owns Trans Modal Freight with his brother. The company has been winning big in recent years and confirmed reports have it that they secured a multimillion contract with Sasol.
