"No words can describe how I feel right now. I still feel like someone is going to say that, 'No it's a joke.' But I remember it's not April Fool's Day. South Africa has been robbed of yet another great talent. This is the day I wished I never got to experience in my football life. But God always has different plans for us. It's very difficult for me to accept this but I know you are in a better place now.
"It is a very sad moment. The player still had a lot to offer. There had been plans in place for him and his football career. What happened came as a shock to all of us. I have lost a brother, son and everything in him. I am sure that Maritzburg will do the right thing, which is to support the player's family during this difficult time," said Sigwili.
