Cape Town City’s emerging teen midfield star Luphumlo Sifumba has become the first SA footballer to sign with internationally-renowned talent management agency Roc Nation.

“Last year, ‘Kaka’, as Sifumba is affectionately known, became the youngest player in club history to feature in SA's Diski Challenge competition, and was later invited to train with the Cape Town City first team despite then only being 15 years old.
