Nhlanhla Masina and Siyabonga Zulu dies in car crash

2y By Silindokuhle Booi

When the late rapper, AKA said, “Any day this life gonna flash before your eyes” he knew exactly what he was talking about.

It has been a sad time for the South African football community after losing two of their players, Siyabonga Zulu, a former Mamelodi Sundowns and Bafana Bafana defender, and his teammate Nhlanhla Masina, a former TS Sporting player.

The accident occurred on Saturday, after their team, Phezulu FC, played a match against Sivutsa Stars at Driekoppies Stadium in Mpumalanga. Another player, Thabo Mosadi, is in critical condition and fighting for his life in the hospital.

Siyabonga Zulu had a notable career, playing for top-flight teams like Orlando Pirates, Chippa United, Platinum Stars, Mamelodi Sundowns, and Black Leopards. He was capped once by the national team in 2015.

Fans and supporters took to X (previously Twitter) to send words of encouragement whilst they expressed their broken hearts.

Another user wrote that it was sad waking up to the news.

One user wrote that Gogo Maweni who is the mother of Siyabonga’s child will take credit for the death.

The football fraternity has expressed their condolences to the families and friends of the deceased players. Mamelodi Sundowns, Zulu’s former team, has also sent their deepest condolences.
