George Chigova, a former goalkeeper for SuperSport United, passed away on Wednesday afternoon. After receiving a heart diagnosis in July, the 32-year-old was ill for some time and had not played for the team since.
His passing comes just two weeks since AmaZulu striker Bonginkosi Ntuli passed away.
Late on Wednesday, SuperSport issued a statement confirming and expressing their condolences.
“It is with great sadness that we have learnt of the passing of former SuperSport United player, George Chigova, George had two stints with the club, having joined us in 2014 from Dynamos in Zimbabwe. He rejoined SuperSport in 2020 after having played for Polokwane City from 2015. While he just started seven games for the club, he formed a great backup and training partner for the likes of Ronwen Williams, Ricardo Goss and Boalefela Pule.
“He also represented his country, Zimbabwe, making 32 appearances. George was a great club man, a gentleman loved by current and former players and everyone at the club.
“Even though his official time with SuperSport ended in June 2023, he was a great visitor to the training ground and stadium to support the team. We convey our deepest condolences to his family and friends both in SA and Zimbabwe during the difficult time and a very sad time.”
