SAFA President Dr Danny Jordaan and Bafana Bafana coach Molefi Ntseki have both mourned the tragic passing away of Mamelodi Sundowns defender Motjeka Madisha.

Motjeka Madisha has reportedly succumbed in a car crash in early hours of Sunday, December 13, aged 25.

Reports say his car has gone to ashes and then he could not survive. An information that sadden both Ntseki and Jordaan.

“It is so devastating for such an up-and-coming player to lose his life this way. They don’t come more professional like the late Madisha. He was ever smiling, humble and was the first to arrive and leave the training ground, hence is rising star status,’’ South Africa coach Molefi Ntseki told Safa’s official website.
