The South African Football Association has expressed its heartfelt grief following the passing of Marianna Adams, the grandmother of Mamelodi Sundowns midfielder. The news comes at a bittersweet time for the national team as they celebrate a historic milestone on the global stage while supporting one of their own through a personal tragedy.

Former Mamelodi Sundowns coach is officially a free agent following his departure from Golden Arrows, and it appears the veteran tactician is already looking beyond South African borders for his next challenge. Despite leading the KZN outfit to a top-eight finish, Mngqithi’s contract was allowed to expire at the end of June, sparking immediate speculation regarding his future.

South African legend Doctor Khumalo has lauded the perseverance and resilience of the 22-year-old winger following his historic contribution at the global showpiece. The Mamelodi Sundowns star has completed a remarkable turnaround, going from the fringes of the national team to becoming one of the tournament's breakout heroes.

Downs' midfield lynchpin is at the centre of intense transfer speculation as his performances on the world stage attract heavy interest from abroad. With the 2026 FIFA World Cup in full swing, the Bafana Bafana sensation has been linked with a lucrative move to the Middle East.
