Johannesburg, South Africa – The President of the Confederation of African Football (CAF), Dr Patrice Motsepe, has sent a message of condolence to the Tshabalala family following the death of
former coach of the South African National Team, Mamelodi Sundowns and a Senior Official at Orlando Pirates FC, Stanley “Screamer” Tshabalala.

He also condoled Orlando Pirates Chairman Dr Khoza and the South African Football Association (SAFA), as well as the entire South African Football Family.

Tshabalala was the first coach of the South African Senior Team, Bafana Bafana, after former apartheid regime was re-admitted to the football family in 1992.

In his career, Tshabalala played for Orlando Pirates FC and was a Technical Director at Kaizer Chiefs FC.

In his condolence message, Motsepe said: “Mr ‘Screamer’ Tshabalala’s contribution to the development and growth of South African football is enormous and recognized by all who have been involved and associated with football in our country over many years.

“He is recognised as the Father of the ‘shoe shine and piano’ style, which he initiated whilst being Head Coach of Mamelodi Sundowns. Mr “Screamer” Tshabalala represented the very best of South African football and African football and will always have a special place in our hearts.”
