Hansie Cronje's brother Frans has posted an emotional tribute to the late former Proteas captain.
Monday, 1 June 2020 marks 18 years since the former cricketer's death in a plane crash in the Outeniqua Mountains in 2002.
The Cronje brothers' father, Ewie, also passed away last month and Frans said it was an emotional day for the family.

"My dad was re-united with my brother three weeks ago. My brother has been waiting for him in heaven for exactly 18 years today. As I sit here and have my coffee and rusks in Cape Town, it's another misty winters morning, like the 1st of June 2002, that forced the plane crash in George," Frans wrote on Instagram.
"So, yes I have tears rolling down my cheeks and I miss both of them. But, honestly, I am at peace. And I can truly say it is a peace that can only come from our Lord Jesus Christ. Our Creator, Comforter and Saviour."
