Condolences poured in for Kaizer Chiefs defender Luke Fleurs, after the 24 year-old was killed in a hijacking on Wednesday night.
Kaizer Chiefs confirmed in a statement on Thursday morning that Fleurs had been killed in a hijacking in Johannesburg.
Bafana Bafana legend Lucas Radebe described the news as “very sad indeed” and “another talent gone too soon”.
That was in response to a tweet from Sports, Arts and Culture minister Zizi Kodwa, who said ” I am saddened that yet another life has been cut short due to violent crime.”
The Premier Soccer League also sent its condolences, while announcing that a moment’s silence would be observed at all of this weekend’s DStv Premiership, Motsepe Foundation Championship and DStv Diski Challenge matches.
SuperSport United, meanwhile, also mourned the passing of their former defender.
