Back in 2022, the football fraternity was left mourning the death of Stanley ‘Screamer’ Tshabalala’s son, Tokollo ‘Magesh’ Tshabalala.
At the time a source from the family told City Press the 45-year-old Tokollo had a long battle with epilepsy.
“Orlando Pirates Football Club is saddened by the news of the passing of the son of Mr Stanley Tshabalala, Tokollo,” the club said.
“Tokollo, who also goes by the name of Magesh, was a renowned musician, famously known for his song writing and being a member of the group TKZEE.
“We convey our heartfelt and deepest sympathy to the Tshabalala Family and pledge our profound moral support. We supplicate that God gives the family fortitude at this moment of extreme grief and pain.
“May his soul repose peacefully,” the brief ended.
