Mntambo regularly takes to social media to show off his prowess when it comes to crafting outfits that resemble artistic masterpieces. 

Whether he's dressing for a formal event, a traditional occasion or just a regular day, he always looks like he's taking part in a photoshoot.

In fact, during November last year, the midfielder graced the runway with his presence during last year's edition of the Soweto Fashion Week.

Speaking to Mahlatse Mphahlele, the player revealed how his love for fashion actually helped while he was undergoing rehabilitation for his injury. 

"I love fashion," the Sekhukhune United captain said. 

"That was an escape for me. It's because I just love myself. I love looking good. At that time when I was injured, I could go for fashion shoots, I got an opportunity to be on the runway and model.

"That was also a distraction, not to only focus on the injury. So, [I] actually love that. Maybe it's something I would tap into post my playing days. Of course, I enjoy it, I do it with ease. I just enjoy looking good and just being in front of the camera."
