Sharing on Instagram, Kaizer Chiefs legend Siphiwe Tshabalala revealed his first salary in 2004.

Siphiwe Tshabalala remains one of the finest midfielders to come from South Africa.

With such a massive career, many fans could not imagine how much he earned when he started playing professional football.
Sharing on his Instagram, Tshabalala revealed that he earned only R400.
