The South African Football Association (Safa) has learnt with shock and horror of the assassination of Umkhanyakude region president, Jabulani Nxumalo on Thursday evening, September 17, 2020.
According to KZN Safa provincial chairman, Kwenzakwakhe Ngwenya, two assailants arrived at Nxumalo’s homestead and after exchanging a few words, shot Nxumalo several times before disappearing into the nearby bush on foot.
‘’From what I have gathered so far, this cold-blooded assassination looked like it was a well-planned hit,” said a shocked Ngwenya, who himself survived an attempt on his life in 2018 ahead of the Safa Elective Congress.
