Bafana Bafana legend Stanley “Screamer” Tshabalala has sadly passed away at the age of 75.
The former Bafana coach, who was affectionately known as “Bra Stan”, died in hospital on Thursday.
He was shockingly shot during a break-in at his Centurion home in March this year and ultimately succumbed to his injuries.
Tshabalala, who was a founding member of Kaizer Chiefs in 1970 and a legend with both Mamelodi Sundowns and Orlando Pirates, was Bafana’s first head coach after the country’s readmission to international football.
A statement from Bucs read: “The Tshabalala and Orlando Pirates Family is announcing the sad and untimely passing of Stanley Tshabalala this afternoon in hospital.
“Bra Stan, as he was affectionately referred to by everybody, succumbed to the injuries he suffered when he was shot in March this year.
“The Tshabalala and Orlando Pirates Family will furnish the details in due course. The public is advised to await the provision of the details for the arrangements going forward.”
