Former Bafana Bafana striker Phil Masinga has died.
Buddha Mathathe‚ the president of the South African Masters and Legend Football Association‚ told TimesLIVE that Masinga passed away at a Parktown hospital on Sunday morning after a long illness.
Masinga was admitted into Tshepong Hospital in Klerksdorp last month and then later moved to Parktown.
He earned more than 50 caps for South Africa and was part of the famous squad that claimed Bafana Bafana's first and only Africa Cup of Nations (AFCON) crown in 1996.
He was 49 years old.
