South African youngster Shandre Campbell is making waves both on and off the pitch as he recently treated himself to a brand-new Volkswagen Golf GTI.

The Club Brugge star was expected to be part of the Amajita squad that won the CAF Under-20 Africa Cup of Nations, which was held in Egypt in May 2025. However, the youngster was refused permission to join the team by his European club, a decision that left Raymond Ndaka heartbroken as he needed the player with him.

After being stopped from participating in the U20 AFCON, the former Cape Town City star was included in Hugo Broos' 41-man preliminary Bafana Bafana squad but failed to make the final list for the international friendlies against Tanzania and Mozambique.

At just 19, Campbell's remarkable performances for Club Brugge’s youth side and in the first team have not only earned him recognition on the pitch but also the rewards that come with rising stardom.
