JOHANNESBURG – Former Mamelodi Sundowns and Bafana Bafana footballer Anele Ngcongca passed away after a car accident in KwaZulu-Natal early Monday morning.
Having called Kloorkop home for the past four years after joining from Belgian team KRC Genk, 33-year-old Ngcongca was on his way to join AmaZulu in Durban after agreeing on terms with the club on Friday for a assignment for one year.
But the Capeton-born footballer reportedly lost control of his car and lost his life in the process.
Ngcongca enjoyed a decorated career in Belgium, where he won many trophies with Genk since joining the club in 2007. But he also had a successful moment after returning home.
With Sundowns, Ngcongca won the Premiership title three times, while also being part of the squad that won the Caf Champions League in 2016
Ngcongca was also Bafana Bafana’s number one winger for many years.
We are saddened by the passing of former Sundowns defender Anele Ngcongca. Our condolences go out to his friends and family.
RIP Anele. pic.twitter.com/NISgbhJZlV
