Nkota's words to his late father
In one of the tributes, the former Orlando Pirates star wrote:
"Dad, thank you for everything. For the sacrifices I didn't always see, the advice I didn't always take, and the love you gave without conditions. I'm proud to be your child. Rest easy knowing you raised me well. I love you, and I'll make you proud."
A separate post captured the depth of his grief in equally moving terms:
"You were my first hero, my teacher, my safe place. The world feels quieter without you, but the love and lessons you gave me will live with me forever. I'll miss you every single day. Until we meet again."
Loss during an already difficult season
The tributes come at a particularly challenging time for Nkota, who has spent recent months away from competitive football as he works through his recovery. The young winger is now confronting personal loss alongside the physical and mental demands of rehabilitation. Nkota's posts have drawn an outpouring of support from supporters across South Africa, with many acknowledging the pain of losing a parent at a young age and in such a public moment of vulnerability. No formal statement has been issued by his club or representatives regarding the passing of his father.
