Pretoria — The sporting fraternity has lost another young talented soccer player, Cecil Lolo. Lolo lost his life on Sunday during a road crash at Spine Road off the N2 near Khayelitsha, Cape Town. Lolo has been described as an influential defender who helped Ajax Cape Town lift the MTN cup this season. The Road Traffic Management Corporation has expressed condolences to the Lolo family, friends, colleagues and the football fraternity.
"Young people especially under the age of 25 are the main victims of road traffic related deaths. More young people aged between 18 and 35 die from road crashes than from any natural cause. This then makes road deaths a serious threat to youth in their prime," RTMC spokesperson Simon Zwane said.
Factors that put young people at high risk are speeding, driving under the influence of alcohol, driving long hours without proper rest and overtaking when it is not safe to do so.
