Sibeko speaks on fashion
Season-by-season, footballers around the world are paying closer attention to their style, curating their looks around major luxury brands their wide pockets can afford.
The DStv Premiership also has its fair share of fashionistas, with stars like Thembinkosi Lorch, Keagan Buchanan, Vincent Pule and Menzi Masuku being known as some of the league's jiggiest stars.
Ex-Golden Arrows prodigy is no different, the 28-year-old opened up about loving popular fashion brands from a young age.

Although he claims to not dress up for external validation, Sibeko admits he garners plenty of compliments for his style:
"I dress up to make myself happy. Whenever I'm looking good, I feel confident, it even helps me on the field. When I'm feeling down and things aren't going well with football, I buy myself a pair of sneakers, which cheers me up."
Along with reserving praise for Sundowns loanee Pule Maraisane's great style, Sibeko revealed that when it comes to his fashion inspirations, Bafana Bafana legend Teko Modise and Bongani Zungu are the local figures that stick out.
Most of his fashion inspiration comes from overseas players. Sibeko named Karim Benzema and Memphis Depay as the football style icons he looks to when keeping up with the latest trends.
Sibeko also took us on a trip down memory lane and revealed how he spent his first paycheck after breaking through at Lamontville Golden Arrows as a teenager.
"At that time, I used to wear brands like Diesel, G-Star and Replay. So with my first paycheck, it wasn't that much but it was still a lot for me because I was still in Grade 11. My parents allowed me to go spoil myself and the first thing I did was to go to the Diesel store and bought a t-shirt and a pair of Diesel sneakers," said Sibeko.
Sibeko's style has clearly come a long way from his days at Arrows. As an established DStv Premiership baller, he regularly wears Louis Vuitton, Balmain, Off-White, Dior and Versace to name a few.

Although those brands indicate that Sibeko's style is out of the ordinary, he maintains that his looks are nice and simple:
"The best thing about my style of dressing up is that it's simple. I don't even take long to decide what to wear. What I normally do when I buy sneakers, I buy a top that will go with it, which makes it easier for me.
"My style is simplicity, there not too much colour. Almost everything I have is either black, or white or grey. It's simplicity that makes it interesting for me, I don't like attention," adds Sibeko, who never looks to catch people's eye with his drip.
