Masinga played for Leeds between 1994 and 1996, as well as for St Gallen in Switzerland and Italian clubs Salerniana and Bar, the newspaper Express broadcast.
A sad day for South African football”, South African Football Federation President Danny Jordan said.
“A loyal football servant, in the field and outside of it”, he added.
