Five soccer players were killed in a car accident in Balfour, Mpumalanga, at the weekend, the SA Football Association said on Monday.

Safa said the team, from Karan Beef Football Club, was travelling home from a league match.

“Our hearts go out to the families of Douglas Mngomezulu, Lucky Motloung, Thabiso Letsima, Bongane Mgadzi and Mondli Makhaza in their hour of grief and the long period of sadness to follow,” Safa president Kirsten Nematandani said in a statement.

Safa chief executive Robin Petersen said the national soccer body would ensure the players received proper burials.

“South African football is so much poorer after the loss of these precious lives,” Petersen said.

“We shall do everything we possibly can to ensure that the deceased are given a dignified burial through our comprehensive insurance plan.”

Safa said it would continue working to provide safer, more reliable transport for its players. – Sapa
