Mamelodi Sundowns and Bafana Bafana centre-back, Motjeka Madisha, has died in a car crash in the early hours of Sunday, December 13, 2020 in Johannesburg, two days after his former Downs teammate, Anele Ngcongca, was laid to rest having also died in a car crash in Durban on November 23, 2020.
He was aged 25.
In a statement, confirming the incident, the South African police said:
“It happened around 02:00 at Zuurfontein Road, Chloorkop next to ABC Auto parts. A scene of accident of a white BMW… Two occupants in the car were burnt and one of them was beyond recognition and were certified dead by Ekurhuleni Emergency Services.
“The car was travelling from the direction of Kempton Park towards Tembisa. Seemingly, driver lost control and the car hit a steel board displaying pole with the backside and caught flames.”
Madisha was a key Downs player this season, featuring in five PSL games and the MTN8 quarter-final defeat to Bloemfontein Celtic. He is also part of the South African National football team.
