Weeks after featuring for his country at the World cup, South Africa and Mamelodi Sundowns midfielder Jayden Adams, has passed at 25.
SouthAfrica’s Minister of Sports, Arts and Culture, Gayton McKenzie, announced his passing in a statement.
“It is with profound shock and a heavy heart that I have learnt of the passing of Jayden Adams.
South African football has lost one of its brightest young talents, and our nation mourns alongside his family, his team-mates and the millions of supporters who watched him grow from a promising academy prospect into a full Bafana Bafana international.”
Police in South Africa said they had opened an investigation after the body of a 25-year-old man was found at a house in Schotschekloof, a suburb in central Cape Town, on Saturday morning.
“The cause of Jayden’s passing has not yet been confirmed, and I wish to appeal to members of the media and the public to exercise restraint and compassion, and to refrain from speculation, while his family and Mamelodi Sundowns are given the space and privacy they need at this incredibly difficult time.
Any official information will be communicated by the appropriate parties in due course.” McKenzie said
