Living the High Life: How Lerato Chabangu’s Lifestyle Led to Financial Downfall
Once a celebrated figure in the world of football, Chabangu’s journey from fame to financial ruin has left South Africa astounded. With revelations of his struggles, he recently disclosed the unfortunate series of events that led to his downfall. Approximately a year ago, Chabangu lost his income, properties, and was ultimately released by his former club, Chippa United. Subsequently, he was left homeless and stranded and had no choice but to go stay with his grandmother in Tembisa.
In an interview, Chabangu expressed remorse as he detailed how he splurged all his money on an extravagant lifestyle. He revealed how he spent money on expensive alcohol and hosting parties.
“I squandered all my money on frivolous things because I always believed I would receive a salary the following month.”
He elaborated on the lifestyle that contributed to his financial downfall, stating,
“After training, which typically concluded by 11 am, we would often gather at Shisanyama, enjoying drinks and socializing. What initially started as a casual habit eventually became a detrimental pattern.”
According to SowetanLIVE, he lost his house in Boksburg and had his car repossessed after he failed to keep up with the payments. He also lost the house he had bought for his mother.
“There are a lot of things that I have lost.
I bought my mom a house and I have lost it, I have lost everything. I don’t even have soccer boots now, I don’t have clothes that you can say will remind me of the past.”
Deceptive Love: The Role of the Slay Queen Girlfriend in Chabangu’s Misfortune
Lerato Chabangu further revealed that the slay queen girlfriend he was romantically involved with at the time played a significant role in his financial misfortune and ruin. He disclosed how he used to send her loads of money to pay off his home loan. However, it turns out she was using the money for her own personal use and was not paying the home loan.
Shockingly, it was while he was in Gqeberha (formerly known as Port Elizabeth) that he learned his properties were being auctioned off.
Apparently, Chabangu dumped his long-term girlfriend for the slay queen woman who went on to squander his money during his time of prosperity and ultimately led to his downfall and financial ruin.

@ZeeRight;
Why was he sending money for his home loan to someone else instead of paying it directly to the bank or wherever? He’s dumb af
@makinkuna;
I watched this episode, apparently he had a good woman who had been with him before the fame, but he dropped her for a slay queen when the money started rolling in. Uyalayeka!!!
@BbwMaturity;
Blamed his losses on a woman…
That’s the problem here. You take a conscious decision to engage with whoever and blame them? Problem with these soccer players is they don’t listen to advice. No financial literacy, poor education, fast life and forget that their playing days are numbered. Clubs also must put in place strong nonnegotiable financial mentorship and training.
