RIP. Mourning in South African football! Legendary former Stellenbosch forward passes away

South Africa’s football community has been plunged into deep mourning following the death of former Moroka Swallows and Stellenbosch striker Les Grobler.

Details: The death of the renowned veteran was officially announced by Gauteng Premier and former Moroka Swallows president Panyaza Lesufi on his X social media page. The influential official extended his heartfelt condolences to the striker’s family, loved ones and devoted fans, highlighting Grobler’s outstanding ability and contribution to the history of the national sport.

Les Grobler earned widespread recognition for his goalscoring instinct and uncompromising approach at the sharp end of the attack during his spells with Moroka Swallows and Stellenbosch. He also left the country a worthy successor — his son Bradley Grobler confidently followed in his father’s footsteps, becoming one of the most consistent and recognizable strikers in modern South African football.

It is worth noting that the late veteran’s son, Bradley Grobler, is a member of the elite club of players to have scored more than 100 goals in the South African Premier League. He also represented the national team, Bafana Bafana, on numerous occasions.
