SA Rugby has received with devastation the news of the death of Liyabona Teyise – a Dale College first team rugby player who suffered a fatal head knock at the weekend.
Teyise was injured during his team’s game against Port Rex in East London.
Sport24 reported Teyise lost consciousness very briefly, but was then able to walk off the field where he was attended to by a pitch-side medical team.
After having trouble breathing and being given oxygen, Teyise was then rushed to Frere Provincial Hospital where he underwent an emergency CT Scan which revealed bleeding on the brain.
Our deepest condolences and thoughts go out to Liyabona’s family, friends, teammates, and the entire Dale College Boys’ High School community. May his precious, beautiful soul rest in peace. Lala ngoxolo ‘Sturge’ ???
