First black African headed for space dies in motorcycle accident

A South African man who was expected to become the first black African in space was killed when his motorcycle was struck by a car on Saturday.

The 30-year-old Maseko, popularly known as “Spaceboy” and “Afronaut,” was one of 23 people who won a seat on the trip to space. “Maseko will be sorely missed." Shabangu said."May Mandla Maseko’s kind and beautiful soul rest in eternal peace.”

What is a “black African”? Is there a white African?
