Madlala, 44, will be buried at the KwaGijima Cemetery in Lamontville tomorrow.
Madlala, of 2847 Khawula Street in Lamontville, died at the Parklands Clinic in Durban after a long battle with cancer.

"The PSL expresses its heartfelt condolences to the Madlala family, Golden Arrows and the football fraternity in KwaZulu-Natal," said Taunyane.
The service will be held at the Methodist Church at Gwala Street from 9am.
