Bonginkosi Ntuli (28 March 1991 – 5 November 2023) was a South African professional soccer player who played as a striker for AmaZulu.[1]
Ntuli began his career in the Vodacom League with Sobantu Shooting Stars before joining the Golden Arrows reserve team.[2] He made his debut for Arrows in January 2012.[2] He went on to join Mamelodi Sundowns in 2014,[3] however, he battled to break into the team and six months later he joined AmaZulu on loan.[4] From 2015 to 2018, Ntuli was on loan at Platinum Stars.[5] [6] [7]
In July 2018, Ntuli went on trial with Djurgårdens IF.[8] This due to Ntuli and Djurgården not being able to agree on the financials of his deal.[9] In August 2018, it was confirmed that Ntuli had joined AmaZulu on loan,[10] with his deal becoming permanent after being part of a swap deal which saw him stay onboard with AmaZulu and Emiliano Tade go the other way and join Sundowns.[11]
Bongi Ntuli died from a rare form of cancer in Pietermaritzburg, on 5 November 2023, at the age of 32.[12] His last soccer game happened only seven weeks earlier, on 17 September 2023.
