We are profoundly shocked and saddened to learn of the tragic and untimely passing of one of our players, Luke Fleurs.

The 24-year-old former youth international lost his life after being shot during a hijacking on Wednesday evening in Johannesburg, He was rushed to hospital where he succumbed to gunshot wounds.

Luke came to Kaizer Chiefs earlier this season before finally signing a two year deal with the Club in October 2023. He was yet to make an official appearance for Amakhosi, although he had sat on the bench for the team.

The Club’s management, players and the technical team are all profoundly upset by this devastating turn of events.

We convey our heartfelt condolences to his family and friends during this extremely difficult time.

The Club will make further announcements at a later stage.
