Bonginkosi Ntuli’s dad has been left devastated following the passing of his footballer son, who succumbed to cancer on Sunday, November 5.

AmaZulu confirmed the death of the player in a heartbreaking statement, throwing football fans into deep mourning.

He was his team’s striker since 2019, and earlier this year, the captain married the club’s CEO, Sinenjabulo Zungu.

In reacting to his son’s death, Thulani Ntuli stated that the family had lost the most important person.

He stated that the former Mamelodi Sundowns striker had been helpful to the family, adding that he had been acting as the head of the family.

Thulani then said the family would meet to decide on the burial arrangements. He told KickOff via Snl24:

“Sifilwe imbiza (We lost the most important person as a family).

“I am running short of words to describe Bongi. He was everything to the family. I am yet to meet a more respectful person than Bongi, and alongside his humility, he was a loving and caring person.

“His passing is a big loss to the family. He was helpful in every way to the family. Even though I am the father, Bongi was carrying the responsibility as the head of the family."

Since Bongi's sudden passing tributes have poured in from all sections of South Africa and the PSL is expected to hold a moment of silence in honour of the late striker.

How Ntuli married AmaZulu’s CEO

Recall that Bonginkosi Ntuli got the world talking when he walked down the aisle with the Chief Executive Officer of AmaZulu FC, Sinenjabulo Zungu, in a colourful wedding ceremony.

In May, the pair inspired many with their traditional ceremony as the striker sealed the union with the daughter of club president and wealthy businessman, Sandile Zungu.

On September 10, the couple had their white wedding, which celebrities, family, and well-wishers attended.

Celebrities pay tribute to Ntuli

Sports Brief earlier reported that South African celebrities have continued to pay tributes to AmaZulu FC striker Bonginkosi "Bongi" Ntuli, who died after losing a short battle with cancer.

The death of the South African striker stirred a lot of sad reactions on social media, especially from celebrity friends, industry colleagues and football fans in general. Teko Modise said:
