Kaizer Chiefs coach Arthur Zwane says “the nation has lost a giant”, expressing his sadness at the death of Bafana Bafana legend and former Orlando Pirates teammate John “Dungi” Moeti.
Moeti, a 1996 Africa Cup of Nations winner and key member of Bucs’ 1995 African Cup of Champions Clubs-winning team, died in the early hours of Monday morning.
Zwane, 49, was a youthful right-wing when he joined Pirates after a stint at Brazilian outfit Santos, for two-and-a-half years from 1997. He only played 12 matches at Bucs as he suffered injuries and was sent on various loans. “It’s sad to lose someone like John,” Chiefs’ coach lamented at a Nedbank Cup press conference on Monday ahead of their last 32 encounter against Maritzburg United at Harry Gwala Stadium in Pietermaritzburg on Friday night .
“I played with John at Pirates, he was my senior. He was a very humble person, very dedicated and disciplined. “He was one of the seniors who used to call those of us who were a bit younger to order. We had to listen to him when he was talking to us, trying to help us understand or see things differently.
