Bafana Bafana coach Molefi Ntseki is struggling to deal with the death of Mamelodi Sundowns player Motjeka Madisha after being informed of the shocking news Sunday morning.
Details are still scant at the moment, but the accident happened near Kempton Park in the early hours of Sunday morning and it is unclear if the 25-year-old Bafana and Sundowns player was driving alone at the time of the accident.
Shocked, Ntseki said Madisha’s death is a devastating blow, coming just weeks after former Bafana defender Anele Ngcongca was also killed in a terrible car accident.
“It is so devastating for such a promising player to lose his life in this way.
“They are not more professional like the late Madisha. He was always smiling, he was humble and he was the first to arrive and [last to] leaving training camp, hence his rising star status, ” Ntseki said.
Ngcongca was killed in a car accident on the N2 just outside Mtunzini on the north coast of KwaZulu-Natal last month and was buried in his hometown in Cape Town a few days ago.
Ntseki said Madisha graduated from all age groups from the youth national team and ultimately made her presence felt at Bafana, where she was a pivotal member of the South African team trying to make it to the Africa Cup of Nations and World Cup tournaments. from FIFA.
“He was a rising star with the right attitude, and his positive attitude among other players was always invaluable.
“This is sad for football. For his family, the club and the football fraternity in general, we are devastated and devastated; my deepest condolences.
“We are hurt, but we hope that his spirit will be the driving force in our attempts to reach the AFCON tournaments and the FIFA World Cup.”
South African Football Association president Danny Jordaan was similarly surprised that the accident occurred just hours after attending Sundowns 50th anniversary celebrations at the Sandton Convention Center on Saturday night.
“I’m still trying to find out the facts of what really happened, but this is terrible news for soccer. Condolences to Sundowns, his family, and the entire soccer family,” Jordaan said.
