Mamelodi Sundowns star Sibusiso Vilakazi becomes a year older this week and it already appears that 'Villa' is on vacation at a stunningly tropical location.
Vilakazi is officially a 32-year-old now. While in footballing terms he finds himself on the wrong side of 30, the reality is that he finds himself located where there are lush views, serene blue water, dazzling sunlight and at a resort well-worth enjoying a birthday at.

Happy holidays
There seem to be numerous reasons for the former Bidvest Wits talisman to be enjoying life right now. Well, besides the fact that he has been blessed with another year of life, he also is part of a side that sits 14 points clear on top of the DStv Premiership table!
While it may be too soon to tell, our guess is that the attacking midfielder is quite comfortable where he is as his relentless Sundowns side look on course to achieve a record fifth consecutive league title.
If that doesn't almost guarantee his happiness, the birthday wishes that have been flooding in from the likes of Lebohang Maboe, Themba Zwane, Amanda Dlamini, Fortune Makaringe and Denis Onyango among a whole host of South African and SA-based stars should surely put a bit of a smile on his face.
Did you know?
Vilakazi won the PSL Player of the Year in the 2013/14 season.

With Surprise Ralani recently being confirmed as a new signing at Chloorkop, do you think this could affect Vilakazi's game time?
