A look at Steve Komphela as a family man beyond football
He is married to Mamoepi Komphela but the former defender decided to keep his family and personal affairs close to home.
The beautiful woman also keeps a low profile when it comes to the public eye and she is media-shy. However, according to BuzzSouthAfrica, the Masandawana staffer is known as a faithful hubby.
Komphela is blessed with three lovely girls, Nombuyiselo, Nomalanga and Noxolo, but the one who is active on social media is Nomalanga.
Taking a glance at Steve Komphela’s football career as a coach
The former Bafana skipper has been around for a while and has led a number of sides in the Premier Soccer League. However, his notable gig came when he was appointed by former club, Kaizer Chiefs back in 2015 just after the departure of coach Stuart Baxter.
After leaving Amakhosi, he was roped in by Bloemfontein Celtic before leaving the team to lead Abafana Bes’thende. At the start of the previous season, the reigning DStv Premiership champions announced his arrival to join Manqoba Mngqithi and Rhulani Mokwena at Chloorkop.
‘SK’ has since bagged his first major title in the Mzansi top flight and will be hoping to build on that success with the former African champions.
