Masinga was a hero to South Africa fans - Radebe

The former South Africa striker Phil Masinga has died at the age of 49.

He won 58 caps for South Africa, helping them win the African Nations Cup on home soil in 1996.

Masinga also scored the decisive goal against Congo which sealed South Africa's qualification for the 1998 World Cup, the first time they had qualified for the tournament.

His old South Africa teammate Lucas Radebe shares his memories of Masinga with Sportsworld.
