The 40-year-old played for various teams during his career, which included the likes of AmaZulu, Golden Arrows, Thanda Royal Zulu and United FC, where he last featured before hanging up his boots.
Siyabonga Nomvethe, who was the neighbour of Nxele in KwaMashu, spoke to iDiski Times about the tragic passing of Nxele.
“Nxele was a good player, full of respect because we come from the same township – KwaMashu,” said Nomvethe to iDiski Times. “I’m from C section, as you know, while he’s from B, close to Joel Faya’s house. To hear such painful news, it came as a surprise because it was not something I expected.”
