Thapelo Maseko was the star man for Bafana Bafana in their win over South Koreas.
Thapelo Maseko's stunning goal has etched his name into South African football history, propelling Bafana Bafana into the Fifa World Cup knockout stage for the first time.
His story is not only about football but also about discipline, family and a steady rise from Sebokeng in the Vaal.
Raised in Eatonside in Sebokeng, the 22-year-old winger grew up in a home where his father worked as a truck driver and sacrificed heavily to support his early football development in the Vaal.
After returning from Afcon, he made his first major personal decision. He bought a family home in Kempton Park for his parents and brothers before focusing on himself and later moving into his own apartment.
