Mthembu has one surviving parent after losing his father over 10 years ago.
“My dad passed away in 2004. As a boy, when you lose your father, life becomes difficult but with my mother it was never like that. She has always been there,” Mthembu was quoted as saying by the Sunday World.
“I don’t like expensive stuff. I am simple man. I chose to buy the Polo Cross because it’s a simple car. Even on gadgets, I don’t spend much. My phone is a (modest) Samsung J7,” Mthembu replied to a question on leading a lavish lifestyle that footballers are known for.
“I am a man of God. I spend most of my time indoors reading books about Christianity. At the moment I am reading a book written by the Apostle Paul, titled Dear Christianity. I also watch religious documetaries,” said the 30-year-old.
