It is a difficult time for the South African football fraternity once again and this time Cape Town has lost one of their heroes, Ajax Cape Town's beloved warrior - Sonwabile Cecil Lolo.

Lolo grew up in Khayelitsha, with the player having "made the most of his disadvantages by putting aside all circumstances and turning them all into a Warrior-like spirit, which he carried over onto the field." read a statement from Ajax.

"He was a true leader and role model for all those who aspire to be professional footballers, showing that no matter what your circumstances, it needn’t suppress your ambitions in life." 

SLTV went out to get messages from the people of Cape Town and present to you an emotional tribute to the talented defender who left us too soon.

Soccer Laduma sends our heartfelt condolences to Cecil Lolo's family and his club, Ajax Cape Town.
