Golden Arrows coach Komphela pays tribute to 'great human being' Mngwengwe

The late defender worked for almost one-and-a half seasons with the current Abafana Bes'thende coach

Golden Arrows coach Steve Komphela has described the club’s late captain Nkanyiso Mngwengwe as a “good boy” who also “lived a clean life” and with the power to defy a spate of injuries which threatened his football career.

Mngwengwe died in the early hours of Monday at the age of 30 and details around his death are not yet known.

Although he was yet to make a competitive match appearance this season owing to injury, Mngwengwe had played under Komphela since the coach joined Arrows in December 2018.
