MarcJWallace 264 Posted November 23, 2020 Anele Ngcongca, a South African international with 53 caps accumulated between 2009 and 2016, has tragically been killed in a car accident in Cape Town. https://www.enca.com/sport/anele-ngcongca-33-dies The 33-year-old defensive midfielder had played in Europe for Belgian sides Roeselare and Genk, in France for Troyes and in his homeland for Fortune FC, Mamelodi Sundowns and, finally, AmaZulu where he had just joined on loan before his tragic death. He was a member of the South Africa squad at the 2010 World Cup - playing 59 minutes of their 2-1 win over France. He also featured in the Bafana Bafana squads for the subsequent 2013 Africa Cup of Nations, in which he played in all three group matches but missed the quarter-final loss on penalties to Mali and the 2015 Cup of Nations where he played in all three group matches as they went out bottom of that particular group. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
