The 34-year-old midfielder, who plays for ABC Motsepe League club Baberwa FC, is balancing his football career with modelling.
Baberwa reportedly pay their senior players R3 000.
“I am also doing modelling, it’s going nicely. I am also doing ads … I am being booked everywhere. But still my soccer career comes first,” Yende was quoted as saying by the Sunday World.
Yende, who also failed to command regular football at Maritzburg United, added that he still had ambitions of playing in the Absa Premiership one day.

“It’s about keeping your life very private … you are never going to be exposed on how you lived before compared to how you’re doing now. I have been up and chilled … I’ve been cool, man, doing my things on the side. I am not surprised because you know, God does things in His own way. So it was never a setback but a learning curve. I still do have ambitions to play in the PSL but my immediate goal is to take this team to the next level, which is the National First Division. I felt the love from day one here.”
