Siphiwe Tshabalala will forever live in the history books of the FIFA World Cup after he scored the first goal of the tournament.
And ahead of the Bafana Bafana squad travelling to America for the 2026 FIFA World Cup, the former Kaizer Chiefs star linked up with Relebohile Mofokeng.
Shabba, as he is fondly known, shared a video of himself briefly hugging Mofokeng as he heads into a vehicle, but as he walks, he drops a paper.
Mofokeng then picks up the paper to give it back, only for Shabba to sign it, as though the Orlando Pirates star had asked for an autograph. Some followers commented that Shabba was passing on the formula for scoring a historic goal.
The adorable moment has fans laughing, but also looking at how the soccer legend is supporting the young star ahead of his World Cup debut.
The nostalgia is high, as the South Africans will yet again play the opening match of the showpiece against none other than Mexico.

South Africa is headed to the World Cup, and the nation is behind them. Whether they win or lose, that's another story.
