What Abha Said
“IT IS WITH GREAT SADNESS THAT WE LEARNED OF THE PASSING OF COACH PITSO MOSIMANE’S ELDER BROTHER DANIEL KHOZA AS ABHA CLUB, WE SEND OUR CONDOLENCES TO THE COACH AND HIS FAMILY. MAY HIS SOUL REST IN PEACE”
The Greater Context
Mary Khoza, Mosimane’s mother, was the sister of former Orlando Pirates players Gabriel ‘Tikkie’ Khoza and Abram ‘Mainline’ Khoza.
