The South African football community has been rocked by another tragedy with the news that Mamelodi Sundowns and Bafana Bafana defender Motjeka Madisha has died in a car crash.Â
He was 25.Â
Details surrounding the accident are unclear, but reports on Sunday morning were that it took place in the early hours of Sunday morning in Kempton Park, hours after Sundowns’ lavish 50-year celebration gala dinner.Â
Madisha has played for Sundowns since 2015 and had also become a regular in the Bafana Bafana set-up.Â
This latest footballing tragedy comes just two weeks after Madisha’s former Sundowns team-mate Anele Ngcongca died in a car crash in KwaZulu-Natal.Â
