Wiseman Meyiwa (born 27 December 1999) is a South African retired footballer . During his playing career, he represented South African Premier Division club Kaizer Chiefs and the South African national team . He was forced to retire at the age of 19 after being rendered a paraplegic following a motor vehicle accident in 2018.[1]
Club career
[ edit ]
Kaizer Chiefs
[ edit ]
Meyiwa is a product of the Kaizer Chiefs academy, having joined the club in 2014.[2] During the 2017–18 campaign , he was promoted to the first team by manager Steve Komphela and scored on debut against Cape Town City in September 2017, aged 17.[2] Upon doing so, he broke a long-standing record held by Marks Maponyane to become the youngest player to both represent and score for the club in a professional match.[3] Following his debut, speculation arose that Meyiwa had lied about his age but this was denied by club chairman Kaizer Motaung and nothing further came from the allegations.[4]
In November 2018, he was involved in a motor vehicle accident on the N3 Highway in the Free State Province of South Africa and had to be transported to the intensive care unit via ambulance.[5] On 31 January 2019, Kaizer Chiefs released a statement that Meyiwa had been forced to retire as a result of the injuries he sustained in the accident; injuries which included an unstable fracture of his thoracic vertebrae and which resulted in permanent paraplegia.[6] He made 21 appearances for the club in total across all competitions.[6]
