He was stabbed in the back and his head.
He was rushed to Stellenbosch hospital where he was attended and released the following day.
All seemed well until his health took a different turn on Wednesday. The family took him to the doctor where he was given some pain-stop tablets.
Oshwin’s brother Lee Irwin Andries said he feels like the other part of his life is gone. “I have been there for him, to support him and it is only one day he is not with us but we already miss him,” he said.
Lee said his brother’s dream was to play in top-flight leagues in Europe and he was always working hard to achieve the dream.
Many people from Klapmuts and Stellenbosch areas are in shock and disbelief after the incident.
“We saw it on social media and we still do not know if it is true. When the club confirmed we were shocked because he was the only young person who was putting Klapmuts on the map. Whosoever did this must pay for it,” said a Klamuts resident.
