Steve Komphela Turns Traffic Stop Into Inspirational Moment
- Steve Komphela, the celebrated Mzansi football coach, turned a traffic stop into a memorable exchange with Jozi traffic officials.
- Driving a sleek R3 million Lamborghini, Komphela managed to charm his way out of trouble, delivering words of wisdom instead of facing a penalty for not wearing a seatbelt.
- Reactions on social media were mixed, with some praising Komphela’s smooth handling of the situation, while others felt the police should have enforced the law.
Let me tell you about a moment that shows just how Steve Komphela has become more than just a football coach—he’s a people person. Recently, the Mamelodi Sundowns senior coach found himself pulled over by traffic cops in Johannesburg. Instead of turning into a tense situation, Komphela turned it into a conversation starter, leaving the scene with a smile rather than a ticket.
The scene unfolded when Komphela, driving his stunning matte black Lamborghini worth R3 million, was stopped by Jozi traffic officials. What could have been an awkward or frustrating moment quickly transformed into something unexpected. The officers greeted him warmly, and instead of focusing on the fact that he wasn’t wearing a seatbelt, they engaged him in a friendly chat.
Komphela, who joined the Sundowns coaching staff ahead of this season, is clearly enjoying life off the pitch. This wasn’t just about his new gig; it was about showing off his impressive ride. His Lamborghini isn’t just any car—it’s a statement piece that commands attention wherever it goes.

How Komphela Motivated Traffic Cops
Watch the viral moment where Komphela shares his wisdom with traffic officials in the video below:
In the video that quickly spread across social media, Komphela can be seen laughing and chatting with the officers. Rather than issuing him a ticket for not wearing a seatbelt, the traffic cops asked him for some motivation. Komphela didn’t disappoint. He delivered a message that resonated deeply, reminding them of the importance of finding inspiration from within.
“Motivation is inside, the fire is inside. If you don’t take the fire from inside, it will never come to you because somebody’s fire might be too hot for you. So you must generate your own fire,” said Komphela.
This isn’t the first time someone from Sundowns has turned heads with their car choices. Midfielder Teboho Mokoena previously showed off his flashy R2.8 million red Mercedes V-Class, sparking admiration from fans. But Komphela’s Lamborghini takes things to another level, proving that he’s not just a great coach but also someone who knows how to make a statement.
