CAF President Patrice Motsepe noted that Mamelodi Sundowns will continue to provide support to the family of Jayden Adams following the 25-year-old’s funeral in Stellenbosch this past weekend.
As the final goodbyes were said to the former Bafana Bafana international on Saturday, Motsepe expressed that the club has put loving measures in place to provide support to the family after the funeral, notably to Adam’s two children.
Speaking at Adam’s funeral, held at the Coetzenburg Centre, the businessman noted that continued emotional support to the family will be crucial while it will take a considerable amount of time to deal with Adams’ loss.
“I’m very proud that there was some discussion about Mamelodi Sundowns continuing to see how they can help, at least for some time, to try and help Jaden’s children,” Motsepe said, as per TimesLive.
“I’m even more proud because there’s a commitment that the chair has made that when there are challenges in any environment, you know, particularly, when there’s a funeral, on the day of the funeral everybody is there and they are there to comfort you and it helps a lot.
“It’s very important but a few days and a few weeks afterwards, the family is very much on their own. And that’s when you really need support.
“You need people to comfort you and you need those that Jayden was part of to continue giving emotional support because it takes time.”
