The
Premier Soccer League (PSL) chairman, Dr Irvin Khoza has conveyed his heartfelt
condolences to the family of the late Bafana Bafana assistant coach, Thomas
Madigage.
The
PSL chairman also confirmed that there will be a moment of silence at this weekend’s
Telkom Knockout and the National First Division (NFD) fixtures – starting with
tonight’s TKO fixture between Bidvest Wits and Kaizer Chiefs.
Madigage,
who joined Bafana Bafana as an assistant coach mid-2012, passed on last night.
“On
behalf of the NSL clubs and the football family at large, I would like to
convey our deepest condolences to the family of Thomas Madigage. We are all saddened
to hear the news of his passing; he was such a gentlemen. Thomas was a man of
few words, but he commanded so much respect amongst his peers and the players.
It’s a sad day for all of us,” Khoza said.
Some
of Madigage’s former clubs are Jomo Cosmos, FC Zurich (in Switzerland) and SuperSport
United.
