Tragically, on May 4, 2018, 21-year-old striker Luyanda Ntshangase passed away, two months after being struck by lightning during a Maritzburg United friendly. Football Is Coming Home extends our most heartfelt condolences to the Ntshangase family.
The funeral service will take place at Alan Paton Hall, Maritzburg College, Princess Margaret Drive, Thursday, May 10, at 10am.
Listen to Luyanda’s 2016 interview with Liz Timbs, in which he spoke matter-of-factly and powerfully about what mattered to him most in life and football, his hopes and dreams for the future.
At this time of sadness and grief, it is important to hear his passion, focus, and dedication to the game. Not only have Pietermaritzburg and South Africa lost a talented striker, but also a young man of great character and boundless promise.
Hamba kahle, Luyanda!
