Mamelodi Sundowns sent their condolences to Percy Tau and his family after the loss of his brother Mogau Tshehla, who passed away in a car accident over the weekend.
The 26-year-old perished in a car accident in Kwaggafontein, Mpumalanga on Sunday evening, according to the club.
However, Rise and Shine are expected to release detailed information on the matter in a press conference to be held at Polokwane City Village on Tuesday.
‘I can confirm that Mogau is the elder brother of Percy Tau and as a club we send our deepest condolences to the family at this difficult time,’ Sundowns spokesperson Thulani Thuswa confirmed.
‘We are not playing this week‚ so this will give Percy enough opportunity to be with his family.’
