Makaringe Takes A Spin In A Luxury SUV Worth Over R700k

Former Orlando Pirates star, Fortune Makaringe took to Instagram to flex a swanky SUV ride that he got to test drive over the weekend.

The skillful midfielder was seen driving a silver OMODA C9, a car born out of the Chinese vehicle manufacturer, Chery. Makaringe was test driving the ride from the OMODA/JAECOO dealership in Alberton, east Johannesburg.

Makaringe looked as comfortable as ever in the pricy OMODA C9 400T compact SUV, which ranges from R785 000 to R885 600 according to the aforementioned dealership's website.

It's not clear whether or not the box-to-box midfielder, who was known to drive a BMW 1 series in the past, will go on and purchase the ride that would easily be the envy of his CT City teammates at the Hartleyvale Stadium's parking lot.
