Baloyi‚ who was in goal for Amakhosi on that fateful night 18 years ago‚ said he still remembers the chaos “like it happened yesterday”‚ and urged the sporting fraternity to never forget the people who lost their lives on Wednesday‚ April 11‚ 2001.
“There were many others who were injured on the night and I am sure their lives have been somehow changed by those injures. People come to the stadiums to be entertained by the sport they love and not to see others die or get injured.” “My wife and other members of my family were at the stadium and they were often late because of traffic. As soon as we were told what was happening‚ I rushed to the dressing room to try and call them but I could not get through because the network was poor‚” he said.
