“This man played for the planet Cup Bafana Bafana with 50 Caps. But there’s silence. @MbalulaFikile is that the only Minister that came to satisfy the family.”

@NathiMthethwaSA , so disheartening that you have made no contact with Anele Ngcongca family , while he is celebrated overseas and other European countries. He was a sport giant. He played for the World Cup! The entire South Africa is mourning Anele.

Nathi Mthethwa is yet to reply to the claims made against him.

Anele lost his life on November 23, 2020, following a horrific car crash within the early hours of the morning. This came just a couple of days after the passing of his ex Mshoza.
