In similar news, Briefly News also reported that Mkhize’s recent graduation was a hit on social media channels but what also grabbed the media’s attention was her stylish whip. The philanthropist drove to the venue in a top-of-the-range Mercedes Maybach that sells at a costly R4 million.

The classy vehicle comes in a variety of engines but it remains unclear which one the football boss owns at her disposal. Briefly News has gathered that the S580 4-Matic sedan is one of the safest cars on the market.

A Mercedes Maybach S580 boasts a 4.0L V8 engine with EQ Boost and 9-speed automatic transmission among other features.
