Setshedi had a long and storied career with the Buccaneers, serving as a
general manager and assistant coach for Bafana Bafana. In 2013, he was
sentenced to eight years in prison for attempting to influence the outcome
of a Vodacom League promotional play-off match.
After serving three years, the remaining five were suspended for five
years. PSLSA would like to express its deepest sympathies to Setshedi’s
family, Orlando Pirates and all who were affected by his loss.
