“May his soul rest in peace. He was a happy soul and that’s what I liked about him.”
Brazilians goalkeeper coach Kennedy Mweene remembered Mashata as a member of the Sundowns family who used to motivate the players.
“He was part of our family, he was a man who would make jokes with everyone, he was fond of the players and players were also fond of him. For us it is a big loss because he was a humble guy and there were always jokes whenever we were with him.
“When the team was under pressure, he would turn and ask the supporters to sing for us, so it is a huge loss for the club and his family.
“He was also always clean and smart, he was a good human being and we will always miss him. We are with the family during these trying times.”
