Durban City Football Club has sadly confirmed the passing of their player, Sinamandla Zondi, following a tragic incident on Tuesday night.
The club was in action against Milford FC at Chatsworth Stadium when, in the second half with Durban City trailing 1-0, the game was abruptly halted. Milford FC had scored through Siphosethu Ndlabi’s penalty early in the match.
Reports indicate that Zondi, 22, collapsed during the warm-up before the game began, under rainy conditions. He was promptly attended to by paramedics and club doctors but sadly passed away before reaching the hospital.
In light of this devastating loss, the referee called off the match as a sign of respect. Durban City later released a statement confirming Zondi’s passing, sharing heartfelt condolences and remembering him not only as a talented footballer but also as a beloved teammate, friend, and inspiration.
The club expressed their deepest sympathy to Zondi’s family, friends, coaches, and all who were impacted by his untimely passing.
