AmaZulu Mourn Passing Of ‘Usuthu Queen’
AmaZulu has confirmed the sad passing of its number one fan and club ambassador, Luyanda Mbuyazi.
Mbuyazi had been a loyal Usuthu supporter for nearly 20 years, bringing colour and energy to the stands whenever AmaZulu played, both at home and away.
“AmaZulu FC board, management, technical teams, players, staff, supporters and the broader football community have been saddened by the passing of Luyanda Mbuyazi, affectionately known as the ‘Usuthu Queen’,” the club said in a statement.
“A passionate and dedicated supporter of AmaZulu FC, Mbuyazi became widely recognised for her unwavering loyalty and vibrant presence within the Usuthu fan base.
“Her love for the club went far beyond matchdays. She represented the spirit of the supporters — energetic, proud and deeply connected to the identity of Usuthu. Through her advocacy and participation in supporter initiatives, she helped strengthen the voice and visibility of AmaZulu fans.
“Her passing leaves a profound void among the Usuthu faithful. She will be remembered not only for her passion for the game, but also for the pride with which she carried the colours and culture of AmaZulu Football Club.
“May her soul rest in peace. Hebe Usuthu.”
Mbuyazi’s passing comes at the same time that Orlando Pirates confirmed the death of their supporter, Charles “Makhalanjalo” Fantisi, on Saturday.
