It is a sad day for TS Galaxy as they mourn their own, Thembinkosi Mbamba after he was involved in a car accident yesterday.
This happened on the eve of their one week anniversary after they were crowned the Nedbank Cup champions when they beat Kaizer Chiefs 1-0 in Durban last Saturday. The team also rescheduled their trophy parade for June 2 which he will no longer be part of.
Social media users sent their condolences to the team and family. Galaxy also shared their condolences to supporters and the family:
