His 2026 started with a Chery Tiggo 7 Pro!
He’d been playing quietly, trusting his skill and backing himself round after round. Based in Hammanskraal, he had no idea this day was about to be any different. But behind the scenes, a plan was already in motion. We linked up with his sister (from his surprise details). Lined up the moment. And then the Dream Drive Surprise Team rolled in, joined by football legend Siphiwe Tshabalala. One knock. One reveal. And suddenly, everything changed.The moment it landed that he’d become the first Dream Drive winner of 2026, and the first person ever to win a Chery Tiggo 7 on the platform, the disbelief said it all. Even his dad stood there, trying to take it in. Pure shock. Pure pride. Every entry, every decision, every bit of belief paid off.💚🚗 Another real South African. Another real dream turned into a drive.
The Judges have Spoken!
The Dream Drive expert soccer panel, Shaun Bartlett, Janine van Wyk, Matthew Booth, Tinashe Shingai, and Thalea Smidt, each reviewed the image independently, placing their marker based purely on football skill, experience, and tactical understanding. The judging process was conducted under the oversight of an independent third-party legal representative to ensure fairness and transparency at every stage. All entries were judged blind. No names. No locations. No player history. Following detailed discussion and debate, the panel reached a final consensus, unanimously agreeing on the winning pick. That’s how we ensure every Dream Drive competition remains fair, transparent, and 100% performance-based.
