Reports suggest that Siphamandla ‘Spepe’ Mtolo, a midfielder for Richards Bay Football Club, collapsed during training on Tuesday morning. This occurred just days after the team played against Kaizer Chiefs last weekend.
Richards Bay FC released a statement regarding the unfortunate event, stating that Mtolo had passed away. The club has not provided any further details regarding the cause of death and is asking for privacy for the family during this difficult time.
Mtolo was an important player for Richards Bay FC, and although he had missed much of the season due to an injury, he had led the side to claim the Motsepe Foundation Championship and earn promotion into the PSL.
Although he had not played regularly this season due to injury, he was expected to play a key role in the final parts of the campaign.
Richards Bay FC expressed their deep sadness over the loss of Mtolo, and stated that his presence, both on and off the pitch, would be sorely missed.
The team’s thoughts and prayers are with his family, friends, and loved ones during this difficult time. A further statement regarding the incident is expected to be released in due course.
