'Can only afford R5,000 bail' - Five-cap Bafana Bafana winger's Sekhukhune United salary details revealed after arrest for deadly car accident

Sekhukhune United winger Shaune Mogaila's salary details have been revealed after the South Africa international was granted bail on Friday. 

The 29-year-old player faces charges of an alleged culpable homicide and reckless driving incident that claimed the life of a nine-year-old child.

Mogaila appeared in the Tembisa magistrate’s court on Friday and he was released on R20,000 bail following his arrest on Wednesday. 

According to Eyewitness News, Mogaila's lawyer, Octavius Magunda claimed that Mogaila earns R40,000 per month at Sekhukhune United. 

The state did not oppose releasing the Limpopo-born player on bail and indicated that he could only afford R5,000 bail.

Magunda pointed out that the footballer has significant financial commitments which include a monthly BMW payment of R8,500, a R13,500 bond, and also supports his family financially. 

Ultimately, Mogaila, who scored once in five matches for Bafana Bafana during the 2023 Cosafa Cup, was released on a R20,000 bail on Friday.

Speaking during the court proceedings, Magistrate Hlengiwe Malevu said, "They’re still further investigations that the state has to do, there is still outstanding video footage, post-mortem results, and a medical report.”

Mogaila's next court appearance will be on 4 February 2025.

The court did not set any bail conditions which means the player could continue to play for Sekhukhune.
