Anele Ngcongca’s family has accused Sports Minister Nathi Mthethwa and the Western Cape provincial government of snubbing them following the death of former Bafana Bafana and Mamelodi Sundowns defender last week.
The Cape Town-born player died in a car accident on the N2 outside Mtunzini, on the north coast of KwaZulu-Natal, last week and his funeral was postponed because his mother is unwell.
His sister, Siyasanga, fired a volley at Mthethwa and provincial MEC Anroux Marais on social media on Wednesday, saying the much-loved player is being celebrated in Belgium, where he spent nearly a decade with KRC Genk, while there has been very little recognition of the sacrifices he made for his country.
“It is sad to see the life of Anele Ngcongca celebrated in Belgium and not in South Africa. The Minister of Sport has not made any contact with the family ‚CT MEC has not said anything. The people of Gugulethu [in Cape Town] they are disappointed. We as a family are disappointed.
“This man played for the World Cup and Bafana Bafana with 50 games‚ but there is silence. @MbalulaFikile is the only minister who came to meet the family, ”said Siyasanga.
