Most sports players share similar back stories regarding their families' concerns about the longevity of their careers in the world of sports.
Incurable injuries and age are usually big concerns for a lot of our sports stars. A permanent injury will most likely cause the player to retire before a period that is desired to them.
With regards to age, it is a well known fact that sports stars retire well into their 30's or early 40's, but where to after that? These are some of the thorny realities that exists in the realm of the sports fraternity.
Brilliant Khuzwayo was unfortunately forced to retire quite early in his soccer career, after a recurring ankle injury.
What's more tragic is that he's still in his twenties and was at the prime of his career as an impressive Orlando Pirates and Kaizer Chiefs goalkeeper.
However, it seems Brilliant is curbing unemployment to the side. The 29-year-old former goalie took to social media and posted a picture of himself at a Spaza shop.
The caption implied that Brilliant has ventured into the business of retail but his followers were left divided.
''Spaza shops guys. I’m no more unemployed 😬😬😬😬😬.''

''Looks like the boy made profits on his Spaza shop 😬😬😬😬😬. The boy is always happy.''

Whilst some of his followers commended his efforts of staying afloat, especially in these tough economic times, others doubted that he actually works at a spaza shop.
