Sekhukhune United player Shaune Mogaila has handed himself over to the police following a tragic car accident in Tembisa on Wednesday morning that led to the death of a nine-year-old girl.

Fatal Morning Accident in Tembisa

The incident occurred on a busy morning in Tembisa as residents began their day. Mogaila, driving a BMW, collided with a Hyundai Grand i10 driven by the young girl’s mother, who was taking her daughter and a 13-year-old neighbour to school. The crash happened around 7:30 am, tragically cutting short the life of the young girl on the spot. The mother and the 13-year-old boy were rushed to Tembisa Hospital with severe injuries.

Mogaila Flees the Scene

In a shocking turn of events, witnesses reported that Mogaila allegedly fled the scene of the crash, leaving the injured and deceased behind. Later that afternoon, however, he surrendered himself to Rabie Ridge police. According to Ekurhuleni metro police spokesperson Thabiso Makgato, Mogaila arrived with minor injuries, including a bruise on his forehead.

Allegations of Substance Use

Upon inspecting Mogaila’s car, police allegedly found a disturbing assortment of substances, including bottles of “potent alcohol named Don Julio” and suspected illegal drugs, including dagga (cannabis) and a powder substance believed to be cocaine. The presence of these substances has raised significant concerns about substance abuse, impaired driving, and the risks posed to public safety. Investigators are pursuing charges of culpable homicide, reckless driving, and leaving the scene of an accident.

Public Reaction and Concerns

The news of the fatal crash and Mogaila’s alleged flight has elicited strong responses from both the public and media. Many have expressed outrage, emphasizing that as a public figure, Mogaila should serve as a role model, especially for young fans of Sekhukhune United and South African football. This tragic incident has stirred a debate on the influence of athletes in society and the responsibilities that come with such roles.

Sekhukhune United’s Official Response

Sekhukhune United has yet to issue a formal statement addressing the incident. However, many supporters have been calling on the team to take decisive action. In previous cases, PSL teams have suspended players facing legal issues, underscoring a broader trend of clubs taking responsibility for the off-field behavior of their players.
