“It is with great sadness that we announce the passing of Fourways High School alumni, Sandile Sibeko of the Class of 1996. Our prayers are with his friends, family and colleagues. Sandile is known and will be remembered for his role as the strength and conditioning coach of the SA women’s rugby team,” the school said in a statement.
South African Rugby president, Mark Alexander said, “This is a deeply sad day for the rugby fraternity. We have lost a passionate and dedicated rugby man and one of the best strength and conditioning coaches in the country. Sandile’s work ethic, the professionalism with which he dealt with the players and his management team, and his larger than life personality made him a key figure at SA Rugby and in the Springbok women’s team.
