Deputy Minister Kekana’s son made headlines when he received a red card against the Super Eagles during the State Of The Nation Address (SONA). Grant Kekana, a player for Mamelodi Sundowns and Bafana Bafana, reflected on his performance at the Africa Cup of Nations (AFCON) and his mother’s unwavering support. He expressed gratitude for his mother’s belief in him, her role in his pursuit of his dreams, and her continuous support.
Despite the public attention, their relationship is characterized by constant encouragement and occasional disagreements, all stemming from her desire for his success. His mother’s pride in his achievements, especially in making it to the continental stage, validates her sacrifices and support. The tweet also includes a video of Grant Kekana discussing his mother’s support, showcasing the bond between him and Deputy Minister Pinky Kekana.
At AFCON, Kekana’s defensive collaboration with Mothobi Mvala contributed to keeping four clean sheets in a row. However, his performance ended on a sour note as he received a red card in the semi-final against the Super Eagles, reflecting the highs and lows of his tournament experience.
