Among these notable professionals were Senzo Meyiwa and Tendai Ndoro, who both made a significant impact while playing for the Orlando Pirates. However, they were not the only ones. In recent years, some of the country’s top football players have also become fathers to twins, further adding to their personal triumphs.

With the arrival of their twins, Pienaar and Abduleau now have a total of five children, forming a loving and growing family.

He and his now-ex-wife, Nonhle Ndala, were blessed with a boy named Andile Junior and a girl named Amare. The twins joined their older sister, Amahle, expanding the Jali family to a party of five.

3. Tsepo Masilela

Tsepo Masilela, the former left-back defender for Kaizer Chiefs and Bafana Bafana, also became a father of twins.

In 2015, he made headlines nationwide when he announced the birth of his son, Tsepo Junior, and daughter, Tsepo Masilela (Gabriella).
