Mrs Khumalo 6238 Orlando East Soweto
Dear Mrs Khumalo,
I learnt with shock of the fatal attack on your husband yesterday.
Eliakim was an example and role model to all the young people of this country more especially those associated with football. His death is a tragic loss to us all.
The police will leave no stone unturned to ensure that the perpetrators of this deed are brought to book.
To you ad your family, I convey my sincere condolences in this hour of grief and sorrow.
Nelson Mandela
