The South African Football Players Union (SAFPU) is shocked after the sad news of the death of their member and BidVest Wits striker Abram "Fire" Raselemane.
He was a former Bloemfontein Young Tigers, Santos and Supersport United player before he joined Wits two seasons ago, died in Bloemfontein on Tuesday.
“Raselemane was one of the most deadly strikers in the country and a key player who contributed a lot for Bafana Bafana. His football skills will be sorely missed by the South African fans and his passing has left a massive void to his family and South African football in general,” says Elvis Sekgobela SAFPU Media Officer.
According to Sekgobela, Raselemane played a very important role for Santos and Supersport United where he helped the two clubs to win the Bob Save and SUPA 8 tournaments, respectively.
“We shall never forget his brilliant soccer skills and his loss is a cruel blow to our national game,” he added.
Attempts to get comments from BidVest Wits have failed.
MAY HIS SOUL REST IN PEACE
