It is with a sense of shock and disbelief that we have heard of the tragic and untimely death of Hansie Cronje. South Africa will mourn him. He was certainly one of our most talented and well-known cricketers whose prowess inspired our youth to greater heights.
And we shall remember his moments of sheer brilliance on the cricket pitch. We offer his family and the families of those who were with him our deepest condolences.
