South Africans were stunned Wednesday as a war of words continued between the sports ministry and Anele Ngcongca’s grieving family.
Sports personality Robert Marawa has also been involved in the saga.
Ngcongca was killed in a car accident on the N2 outside Mtunzini on the north coast of KwaZulu-Natal last week, and his funeral was postponed for next week.
Tensions escalated when the Cape Town-born player’s family accused Sports Minister Nathi Mthethwa and the Western Cape provincial government of snubbing them following the deaths of former Bafana Bafana star and Mamelodi Sundowns.
Anele’s sister Siyasanga fired a blast at Mthethwa and provincial MEC Anroux Marais on social media on Wednesday, saying the much-loved player was being celebrated in Belgium while there was very little recognition of the sacrifices he made for his country. Anele spent nearly a decade with KRC Genk, who have retired their iconic No. 16 jersey in the wake of the tragedy.
