Amakhosi announced on Friday morning that Mathoho’s father, Johannes Ntshavheni, has died at the age of 75.
“It is with our deepest sorrow that we announce the passing of Erick Mathoho’s father, Johannes Ntshavheni Mathoho (1945-2021) on Thursday, 7 January. Our prayers go out to the Mathoho family in their time of grief,” read a tweet from Chiefs.
With Chiefs facing the Team of Choice in a DStv Premiership on Saturday, Mathoho could be granted compassionate leave.
When the Bafana Bafana defender lost his sister in June last year, he was granted the leave by the club.
Phakaaathi would like to send our heartfelt condolences to Erick Mathoho, his family and to Kaizer Chiefs during this difficult time of mourning.
