Andile Dlamini (born 2 September 1992) is a South African football goalkeeper. She plays for Mamelodi Sundowns and the South Africa women’s national football team.

Early life

Andile Dlamini was born on 2 September 1992 in Tembisa, a township of Johannesburg, South Africa.

Playing career

Club

Andile Dlamini took up professional football after playing against the South Africa women’s national under-20 football team; she was subsequently selected for the team. Nicknamed “Sticks”, she previously played for Phomolong Ladies, and currently for Mamelodi Sundowns.

International

She made her debut for the South Africa women’s national football team against Botswana in 2011. Dlamini has routinely been the reserve goalkeeper for the team, with Thokozile Mndaweni and Roxanne Barker taking the first time spots. This has meant that although Dlamini has been named to the squads of both the 2012 Summer Olympics in London, United Kingdom, and the 2016 Summer Olympics in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, she did not play any time at all during either tournaments. She was disappointed when South Africa were eliminated from the 2015 All Africa Games in the first round through a drawing after each team in the group stage drew all their games.

Following the arrival of coach Desiree Ellis, it was suggested that Dlamini could have a better chance of becoming the first choice goalkeeper, especially after Barker was released later than expected for friendlies and the 2016 Africa Women Cup of Nations tournament.

Personal life

Dlamini is a Christian, and reads the bible to prepare for football matches.

Kris Singh net worth: Kris Singh is a American businessman and car collector who has a net worth of $200 million dollars. Kris Singh earned his wealth as the Managing Director of a Florida-based investment firm called Tequesta Investments. In January 2014, Kris Singh made international headlines when it was revealed that he was one of only three people in the world who was lucky enough to purchase the brand new ultra-rare Lamborghini Veneno. The Veneno is the most expensive production car in the world today. The car features a 6.5 Liter V-12 engine that is capable of producing 740 horsepower. In order to reserve his Veneno, all three buyers had to be well known by the executives at Lamborghini. Kris and the other owners were also required to plunk down the car’s full purchase price way back in 2012. That purchase price was $4.106 million. In fact, he did not even see what the car looked like until it was unveiled for the world for the first time at the Geneva Motor Show. Kris and the other lucky owners were flown out by Lamborghini on a private jet to the Geneva show where they finally laid eyes on their prize. The cars were delivered a few weeks later.
