Former Bafana Striker Passes Away

Former Bafana Bafana striker Alton Meiring has sadly passed away after allegedly being stabbed to death.

The 48-year-old Meiring, who won two Bafana Bafana caps, played for several clubs, including Mamelodi Sundowns, Moroka Swallows, Jomo Cosmos, Golden Arrows and Hellenic.

Having retired over a decade ago, Meiring had continued to play a role in football, working with a few clubs as a youth coach.

“It is with a heavy heart that we confirm the passing of Coach Alton Meiring,” Lusa Africa, where he’s helped out as a coach, stated on Sunday.

“He has been a big supporter of our club and has helped out multiple teams over the last few seasons, from juniors to seniors and even our ladies team. We are so grateful for his knowledge and assistance.

“Please keep his family in your prayers.”

We, at iDiski Times, would like to express our condolences to Meiring’s family and friends.
