For a while now, the crew has been inundated with requests for anecdotes of Mamelodi Sundowns' star Sipho Nunens. Well, we have deliberately sidestepped writing about the talented one's escapades.

For a while now, the crew has been inundated with requests for anecdotes of Mamelodi Sundowns' star Sipho Nunens. Well, we have deliberately sidestepped writing about the talented one's escapades.

In fact, you can produce a bible-sized volume on Nunes's shenanigans, but we decided on these few snippets.

One day Sipho was enjoying the sun on the beach at Muizenburg when Sundowns went for one of their league games against Santos. A lady came and asked him: "Are you relaxing?", Sipho answered: "No, I am Sipho.'

Another guy came and asked him the same question.

Sipho answered: "No! No! Me Sipho!"

A third one came and asked him the same question again.

Sipho was totally annoyed and decided to shift his place.

While walking he saw a certain guy soaking in the sun.

He went up to him and asked: "Are you Relaxing?"

This guy was a lot more educated and answered: "Yes, I am relaxing."

Sipho slapped him in his face and said:

"Hey wena ... everyone is looking for you and you are sitting over here!!!"

And the next stop was Durban where he met a nice chick e taxi rank. The problem is he didn't know how to approach her.

After a while he decided to go to the chick and ask for her hame and the chick was friendly and responded by telling him her name: "I'm Cindy."

Then Cindy asks the Downs' star: "And you, what is your name?"

He replied: "Take a guess, it also starts with a C."

Cindy replies: "Cleo?"

Nunens: "No, try again."

Cindy replies: "Coby"

Nunens: No, try again;

Cindy replies: "OK, for the last time, your name is Carrot."

Nunens replies : "OK, I will tell you, my name is Sipho."
