Former Bafana coach Stanley Tshabalala is recovering after being shot by burglars at his home on Wednesday, family spokesperson Thato Matuka has reported.
Tshabalala was the first Bafana coach following South Africa’s readmittance into international football in 1992.
He was also a founding member of Kaizer Chiefs, a coach at Mamelodi Sundowns and Orlando Pirates technical director.
A statement from Matuka read: “Former Bafana Bafana coach Stanley ‘Screamer’ Tshabalala was shot following a house break-in at the Tshabalala residence yesterday, just after Midday.
“The matter is currently in the hands of the South African Police Services.
“The Tshabalala family would like to thank the public for their messages of support during this time, and have asked for privacy while Bra Stan is recovering.”
