A Premier Soccer League (PSL) star is making headlines after being involved in a fatal accident on Wednesday, 30 October, in Tembisa.
Sekhukhune United right wing-back Shaune Mogaila is said to be the PSL star who was involved in an accident.
PSL STAR INVOLVED IN FATAL CAR ACCIDENT
Against the news, the club has yet to offer an official statement addressing the news that has since thrust them into top trends.
The fatal accident claimed the life of a nine-year-old girl.
The South African has since confirmed that a woman was taking the children to school at the time of the crash. She was driving a Hyundai Grand i10 when she collided with the PSL star’s car.
Dashcam videos showing the PSL star’s sleek BMW creeping into the other lane before the fatal accident have gone viral.
However, the star fled the scene after the accident. Reports have it that he later turned himself in at the Rabie Ridge police station on Wednesday afternoon.
POLICE SHARE MORE DETAILS ABOUT THE ACCIDENT
Ekurhuleni metro police spokesperson Thabiso Makgato has since confirmed the news. The police spokesperson also revealed to the media that several charges have been laid against the PSL star.
The Police also confirmed that a substance, which is believed to be cocaine, was recovered at the accident scene.
“Powder, which we suspect could be cocaine and weed [cannabis] edibles were also found in his vehicle (PSL star).
“A case of culpable homicide, reckless and negligent driving and fleeing the scene of the accident has been opened,” the police officer said.
“The deceased girl’s mother and a 13-year old neighbour were rushed to hospital with serious injuries,” reads part of the report.
Earlier this month, Gabadinho Mhango made headlines after being involved in a car accident. Photos and videos of the star allegedly intoxicated while at the accident scene made rounds.
CAREER
Little is known about his youth career. However, the 29-year-old PSL star started his senior career with Highlands Park in 2018.
Two years later, after 19 appearances, he left the club for TS Galaxy. In 2022, Shaune Mogalia joined Royal AM. Earlier this year, he left the club as a free agent.
However, his command of the game and flair saw a host of PSL clubs, including Orlando Pirates, reportedly try to sign him before settling for Sekhukhune United.
