Johannesburg - The Gauteng Legislature’s Portfolio Committee on Sports, Arts, Culture, and Recreation has conveyed heartfelt condolences to the Moeti family following the passing of Bafana Bafana midfielder John "Dunga" Moeti.
In a statement, the committee said that the legend was part of the indomitable national squad of 1995 that was coached by Clive Barker, and among other landmark victories, the side made waves by winning the 1996 Africa Cup of Nations (AFCON).
"’Dunga’ had 29 Bafana Bafana caps. He also played for the Orlando Pirates from 1995 on, as well as for Dynamos and SuperSport United," read the statement.
The chairperson of the committee, Thulani Ndlovu, said that on behalf of the Gauteng sports community, the community wants to send their deepest condolences to the Moeti family, the Orlando Pirates football club, the Gauteng province, and South Africa at large.
"Moeti served and encouraged many young soccer players to serve the nation with pride, dedication, and commitment. He will be missed by many, and may his soul rest in eternal peace," said Ndlovu.
