Mzansi is currently mourning the death of soccer legend and Kaizer Chiefs founding member, Stanley “Screamer” Tshabalala who sadly passed recently.
Bra Stan, as he was famously called had contributed massively to the soccer fraternity and held high positions in many premier league teams.
The 75-year-old former Bafana Bafana head coach is said to have succumbed to death from the injuries he sustained when intruders broke in at his house and shot him in March this year.
The news of his passing was confirmed by Orlando Pirates, a team he served as a senior administrator at, sharing a caption that reads, “Orlando Pirates is saddened by the passing of soccer legend, Stan “Screamer” Tshabalala.”

MEMORIES: If the man in the background did not see any talent in me whilst I was still at high school (grade 11), life would be different.
Thanks Bra J, not forgetting Bra Stan Tshabalala too. I will forever reflect, I remain humble to your talent identification instincts. pic.twitter.com/5L7DtPlheI
