Messages of condolences continue to pour in following the death of former captain of South Africa’s Lamontville Golden Arrows football club, Nkanyiso Mngwengwe.
The 30-year-old defender affectionately known as “Sgora” passed away at his home in Durban during the early hours of Monday morning.
Mngwengwe joined Arrows from Umgeni City in 2013 and went on to play more than 140 matches for the Durban-based Absa Premiership outfit.
The club’s assistant coach Mandla Ncikazi described Mngwengwe as a dedicated and respectful player.
“As team Golden Arrows, we woke up to the very bad news, sad news indeed about the sudden passing of our Mngwengwe. One can recall good memories. He was always positive, he was injured for quite some time and had two operations on his knee. He was not playing but was always supportive to the players and the team although he was not physically playing in the team,” adds Ncikazi.
Some of his fans have taken to the social media to send their heartfelt condolences and messages to the Mngwengwe family.
