Stellenbosch Confirm Sad Andries Passing

Stellenbosch FC have confirmed the sad passing of young defender Oshwin Andries.

The midfielder-turned-centre-back would’ve turned 20 in three weeks but sadly passed away on Saturday.

Stellenbosch now confirmed the tragic news via the following statement:

“It is with deep sadness that Stellenbosch F.C. has learned of the untimely passing of promising young defender, Oshwin Andries.

“The Club is not in a position to provide further information at this stage and asks that his family’s privacy is respected in this difficult time of bereavement.

“Andries was a gifted young footballer who graduated from the SFC Academy to make his professional debut at the age of 18. He later became the Club’s youngest-ever goalscorer in the DStv Premiership and captained South Africa at the recent U-20 AFCON COSAFA qualifiers.

“His presence, both on the pitch and off it, will be sorely missed. The thoughts and prayers of everyone at Stellenbosch F.C. are with his family, friends and loved ones.

“A further statement will follow in due course.”
