The accident is said to have happened somewhere in Kempton Park, close to where Madisha stayed.

Mamelodi Sundowns defender Motjeka Madisha has died in a car accident in the early hours of Sunday morning.

The circumstances around the accident are unclear at this moment, but sources have confirmed that Madisha has indeed died.

“Madisha (was) involved in car accident. I went there to confirm, the car is burned into ashes. There were two of them in the car and both didn’t make it. Madisha tried to come out of the car and died outside and the other one died inside the burning car,” read a message a colleague shared on the South African Football Journalists’ Association (Safja) WhatsApp group, that they said was from a traffic officer who was at the scene.

The accident is said to have happened somewhere in Kempton Park, close to where Madisha stayed. Phakaaathi has also confirmed with another source who said it is indeed true.

“I don’t have much details as yet as I have just heard about it myself, but yeah, it is true. Very sad. I am still trying to process it myself,” said the source who asked not to be named yet as the club nor family have made an official statement on the matter.

Madisha’s death comes just three weeks after that of another Sundowns player, Anele Ngcongca who died in under almost similar circumstances. Ngcongca died in a car crash on the N2 outside Mthunzini on Sunday, November 23.

It was also in the early hours of the morning and it is believed he was on his way to Durban where he was set to be unveiled by AmaZulu as their player, as he had been loaned out to them.

Madisha joined Sundowns in 2016 from Highlands Park and won three Absa Premiership titles with Pitso Mosimane between 2017 and 2020.

Orlando Pirates coach Josef Zinnbauer has confirmed that the club have several injury concerns as they prepare for their MTN8 Final against Bloemfontein Celtic.

Lorch and Mabaso ruled out for Orlando Pirates

Pirates will have to pursue the R8 million winners cheque and an end to their long trophy drought without the services of Thembinkosi Lorch and Abel Mabaso.

Zinnbauer is hopeful that defender Thabiso Monyane will recover from his injury in time to play some part in the first cup final of the 2020/21 season.

The head coach provided a limited update on squad fitness as he addressed the media on Wednesday 9 December.

“We have all players [except] Mabaso is injured and Lorch is injured; Monyane is injured, but there’s a chance he can come back [in time for Saturday],” Zinnbauer told reporters.

“Yeah, I think that’s the only thing we have on the injured players.”

Orlando Pirates run to the MTN8 Final has offset a difficult start to the season giving the coach some breathing space as pressure mounts.

Zinnbauer says the mood in the Pirates camp is good and preparations for the match are proceeding swimmingly.

The clash against Siwelele will be Zinnbauer’s first experience of a cup final in South African football nearly a year since his appointment as coach.

“I’m happy we have the final, this was hard work for us, with tough games behind us. Now we are happy to be in the final, and we do our best to try and win this final,” Zinnbauer added.

“We know we have a good opponent in this game, it’s a tough game, the opponent is strong and they won against Sundowns – we know this, we have the information of what they do.

“But we have a plan and I feel a very good spirit in training, the mood is good, and I think we are [headed] in the right direction.”

Can Zinnbauer end the wait?

Pirates are unbeaten this season, but four draws in six league matches have left them four points off early PSL pacesetters and defending champions MamelodiMamelodi Sundowns F.C KwatsaduzaMamelodi Sundowns F.C KwatsaduzaMamelodi Sundowns F.C Kwatsaduza
