In February, nine members of the King Edwards VII's cricket first team were hospitalised, after they were struck by lightning whilst covering up a school cricket pitch with a protective sheet.
Speaking to EWN website, Smit said he was touched by the show of solidarity and support from the school and the pupils.
"You can see the resilience of character in them already from the ordeal that they’ve been through. It’s still a very emotional time for them. You can see how the school supported them.”
