Tributes are pouring in following the passing away of South African football legend, Chris “Rollaway” Ndlovu, who died on the weekend.
In his heyday, Ndlovu played as a defender, first for Pimville United Brothers (Pubs), he then moved to Moroka Swallows and onto Kaizer Chiefs.
The great Ndlovu, also represented his country during the dark days of apartheid for the SA Black XI, a select team in the 1970s.
The team was some form of a national side representing the black population and had matches organised against neighbouring countries like Swaziland, Lesotho and Botswana.
In the representative “national” team he played with greats such as Matsilele “Jomo” Sono, the late Patrick “Ace” Ntsoelengoe and Cyprian “Mahala” Maimane, among many others.
At Pubs, where Ndlovu started his professional career, he played alongside other notable legends, including George “Best” More, Hamilton “Shakes” Mbuyane and George Makapan, to name just a few.
