[edit] Death hoax

On February 19, 2007, Russian web-based news source Rusfootball and Russian edition of the UEFA website reported that Lekgetho had been killed in a car accident in Cape Town.[2][3] Other media such as gazeta.ru,[4] Sport-Express,[5] and Regnum[6] picked up the story. On February 20, Rusfootball published the refutation, confirming that the information was false.[2]
