Sinethemba Jantjie’s Funeral
Dates and details about Sinethemba Jantjie funeral and memorial arrangements will be made public after meeting with his family.
Before his sudden death, Jantjie was due to join BidVest Wits at the end of the season after signing a pre-contract with the Johannesburg-based club.
Jantjie made a name for himself at the Free State Stars and Wits after joining the club from Mbombela United in 2016.
He almost joined Kaizer Chiefs in 2017, but the proposed deal never materialised after parties involved failed to reach an agreement.
In January 2010, Jantjie signed a pre-contract with Bidvest Wits as his contract with Ea Lla Koto was coming to an end on June 30.
He was set to join his new club on July 1, 2019, to try and take his football career to another level and perhaps catch the eye of national team coach Stuart Baxter.
May his soul rest in perfect peace.
