The Ghana international received an unexpected message from the former South African president
It’s not every day one gets the chance to marry the daughter of a renowned former world leader, but that’s exactly what happened to Kevin-Prince Boateng after the 2010 World Cup in South Africa.
Boateng had switched his allegiance from his native Germany, who he represented at youth level, to Ghana, in time to become an important member of the side that came within a penalty shootout of the World Cup semi-finals.
The Ghana team also met with former South Africa president Nelson Mandela, something that was a dream come true for the midfielder.
