Golden Arrows captain Mngwengwe passes away

Golden Arrows captain and defender Nkanyiso Mngwengwe has passed away.

Details around Mngwengwe's death are still sketchy, but the football fraternity woke up on Monday to the sad news that the Cato Ridge-born player was no more.

Mngwengwe joined Abafana Bes'thende from amateur club Umngeni City in July 2013.

This means he was on the books of Arrows for seven years until death claimed his life.

The 30-year-old centre-back featured 113 times for Mato Madlala's owned club, including 101 league appearances during his seven-year professional career.

Mngwengwe scored three goals and recorded two assists in the process despite being a defender.
