It is with a heavy heart on the sad news of the death of South African Simphiwe “Stone” Mbhalo that we offer our condolences to the family, friends and the AFL South Africa community. Details are scant but we believe he was shot and died aged just 24.
In the international footy community he is best known for kicking the after the siren goal in the International Cup match against Ireland in 2008. For those unfamiliar with the moment the report of the match can be found here (and see the footage below). He kicked two goals in that match and was named in the best players four times in the IC08 tournament.
