A legend of note. Sad sad, dark day in the sporting world of South Africa. Thank for being the person and icon you were. You are now pain free. Gone too soon - hence, South Africans are fighters. You tried your best to fight this battle - unfortunately, no matter how we try, there comes a time when we need to deal with defeat.
I salute you - a man in the mirror.
