What's the story? 

Siphiwe Tshabalala may be a household name for his career at Amakhosi and Bafana Bafana heroics, but still maintains a sense of humbleness by investing in street vendors.

It's safe to say that street vendors in every part of the country are some of the most vulnerable small business owners.

Whether he's purchasing fruits or snacks like amakip-kip, Shabba always wears a big smile on his face when supporting a street vendor.

The 38-year-old grew up in Soweto and giving back to these types of businesses is a source of nostalgia for him. The baller also goes out of his way to give vendors a tip after a purchase, showing his willingness to go the extra mile.

Shabba's love for street vendors hasn't gone unnoticed. He's been receiving praise online for being one of the only celebrities who actively supports these businesses.
