"It is with a very heavy heart that we inform you of the untimely passing of our beloved centre-forward and loyal servant, Bonginkosi Ntuli," the statement read from the club.

"Ntuli was [very recently] diagnosed with an aggressive form of cancer, which metastasised and ultimately led to his death at the Midlands Medical Centre Private Hospital in Pietermaritzburg this afternoon.

"May his beautiful soul rest in peace. The club requests privacy and patience be granted to his family and friends at this difficult time. Furthermore, an announcement will be made in due course."

Ntuli also played for Golden Arrows, Mamelodi Sundowns and Platinum Stars. He made six appearances for AmaZulu this season.
