MAGENTS has a limo and loves it as his big baby!

He says a limousine has always been his dream car and now that he owns it, he calls it his baby.

He loves his car so much that he wants it all to himself and further explains that his car is not for hire.

The former Orlando Pirates captain Edward "Magents" Motale from Mamelodi in Tshwane told Daily Sun that he bought his limousine Mercedes Benz in 2016.

"Can you believe, that I bought this big car as scrap and fixed it from scratch," he says

He said he bought it from Ledwaba Funeral Parlour in Atteridgeville in the west of Tshwane.

The former Bafana Bafana defender said he spent over R80 000 to fix it.

Magents uses his cream-white 7-seater Mercedes Benz as a family car.

He added that after thugs stole his kombi in 2011 which he used as a family he decided to replace it with his favourite limousine car.

"This is safer, and thugs will struggle to steal this one because it's unique and everybody around the community knows it’s mine.”

He said he has driven the V6 engine limo as far as to Joburg.

"My friends want to borrow the car from me, and I always refuse as this is my personal toy," he said.
