Cape Town - The South African Football Association (SAFA) has confirmed that Bafana Bafana legend Phil "Chippa" Masinga has died.

He was 49.

Masinga was admitted to hospital in December where he was said to be suffering from an "undisclosed illness".

He played 58 times for the South African team, scoring 18 goals in national colours and was part of the famous squad that claimed Bafana Bafana's first and only Africa Cup of Nations (AFCON) crown in 1996.
For my sceptical Nigerian Friends : Pessimism is great because you are either always right or pleasantly surprised.

One of the great Bafana Bafana players of the 1990s when they emerged as a force to be reckoned with in African football. He will be missed.

We watched this very boring video, 500 times, of Sacchi doing defensive drills, using sticks and without the ball, with Maldini, Baresi and Albertini.
