Speaking on the Unisa website, Maphike said education is a viable alternative for life after football after he joined fellow Mzansi legend Desiree Ellis by achieving educational honours.

Maphike said:

"Education is for a lifetime compared to football, which only has a life span of about ten years if one is lucky. The simple choice is, do you want to go on pension at the age of thirty (30) or sixty-five (65)? Life is about making good choices."
