quarter-final of the Telekom Knockout tournament.

of Nations qualifying matches against Congo, Nigeria and
Sudan, taking over the skipper's armband in the absence of
Kaizer Chiefs' Itumeleng Khune.

immense in the Afcon qualifiers, with Bafana yet to
concede a goal after four games while topping their table
ahead of Sudan, defending champions Nigeria and Congo.
Pirates Chairman Dr Irvin Khoza tweeted, "This is a sad
loss to Senzo's family especially his children, to Orlando
Pirates & the nation."
The club have announced that they will hold a press
conference on Monday.
