Wat ’n tragedie. @ThysLombard was ’n mens sonder ’n gemene haar op sy kop. ’n Man sonder korrupsie wat mense innig lief gehad het. RIV, kameraad.
How sad to hear the terrible news that Thys is gone forever. Baie hartseer dag vir almal wat hom geken het 💔 RIV Thys

While I am annoyed with myself for clicking on the click bait, it does allow me to say that the reason that, in the words of 'Ben Smith', South Africa has no 'unofficial world titles' (whatever those are) is that they are understandably pleased with their four official ones.
