Primo keeps up with Shabba

It's clear that the apple doesn't fall far from the tree when it comes to Lucas Radebe's oldest son, Primo Baloyi.

Primo has surfed his own wave by becoming an elite content creator, garnering over 1 million followers on TikTok and another 235k on Instagram. 

Primo's hilarious videos and his football background have helped him attract partnerships with DStv and now Nedbank for the national cup competition, the Nedbank Cup.

Nedbank recently revealed a fully-fledged fan and creator house, titled "Ya Rona House" — which is "set to transform how football fans experience their love of the game," according to SuperSport, who added:

"Ya Rona House, based in Parktown, Johannesburg, is the ultimate intersection between sports, entertainment and culture. True to its name, which translates to 'our house', Nedbank will invite football fans into the house and give them some of the most innovative experiences seen in local sport." 

Nedbank's Ya Rona House will give fans the opportunity to interact with legends like Teko Modise and Siphiwe Tshabalala, while digging into a gourmet gameday meal prepared by Chef with gaming, fashion, and music in the mix.

It seems that Primo and Shabba challenged each other to a skills challenge, with the former's football roots coming in clutch! 

"Just a casual kick around with a national hero," wrote the TikTok star on his IG story.

Primo also shared a throwback snap with him and former Manchester United midfielder Paul Pogba, who is on the receiving end of a four-year suspension from all forms of football after testing positive for a banned substance.

It's likely that Primo met the 2018 FIFA World Cup winner when he accompanied his father at the 2015/16 Balon d'Or awards.
