” The death of Mandla Mgijimi shocked us all, he complained of an illness a few days ago and we thought that he will recover.He couldn’t wait for the return of football despite knowing that it will take a long time to return to the stadium to do what he enjoyed most (cheering his Orlando Pirates team), he was longing to watch from the screens.It’s a great loss to the family and the football fraternity at large, his passion was appreciated by the club and all football fans. My brother would die for Orlando Pirates, the team lost a great supporter but gained an angel who will watch them from high above MHSRP”
