“Thank you for sharing this tribute. He was a phenomenal human being. He will be missed. Thank you to everyone who was able to attend Thulani Thuswa’s memorial service yesterday.

Percy Tau on the move
In other reports regarding Sundowns, Briefly News reported that Bafana Bafana and Brighton & Hove Albion striker Percy Tau could find himself playing in Belgium next season.
This comes after media reports suggesting that Royal Antwerp has shown interest. Tau recently made it clear he would like to remain with the English Premier League side and establish himself there.
According to KickOff, the former Mamelodi Sundowns striker could make his way to Belgium after Antwerp reportedly tabled a whopping €4 million (R67 million) offer to the Seagulls.
Antwerp finished third in the Jupiler Pro League this past season and will make another attempt to lure him back for a fourth stint in the country.
