Bethlehem - Free State Stars soccer player Richard Henyekane, whose memorial service will take place in Bethlehem in the Free State on Thursday, was a humble man who was well respected in his community, a childhood friend said.
Daddy Matlhko, who knew Henyekane since they were children, said the family were deeply saddened by his death.
"We actually are just devastated, especially since about four months ago we buried his younger brother Joseph. We are still coming to terms with the passing of his younger brother," Matlhko said.
