What's the story?
When it comes to popular football figures in South Africa, Siphiwe Tshabalala is arguably up there with the most famous of the lot.
While he made a name for himself while shining at Kaizer Chiefs and with the Bafana Bafana national team, Shabba often rubbed shoulders with the best of the best in SA football, while others simply look up to the dreadlocked star as a hero.
Star Link Up
As for Zwane and Lorch, the Mamelodi Sundowns and Orlando Pirates star no doubt appreciated his contribution to the game, as the three recently linked up.
That being said, Shabba recently took to his Instagram account where he uploaded a photo of himself alongside Zwane and Lorch. In captioning his post, Shabba simply said, "Easy just with the boys", along with a smiling emoji with shades.
Jersey Swap
Later on, the Downs and Pirates star was spotted swopping playing jerseys, a popular gesture of recognition among footballers in the game today.
Mshishi gave the Bucs trickster a 21/22 Downs kit from the MTN8 tournament, while Lorch gave Zwane the bright orange 20/21 Bucs away jersey in exchange.
