JACO VAN DER MERWE
👟🤍👟
Alberton AC mourns the passing of Jaco Van Der Merwe, who tragically lost his life during a house robbery on Wednesday 27 May - a day before his birthday.
We extend our deepest condolences to his partner Amanda Du Rand who is also a member of AAC, as well as all his loved ones.
Jaco will be remembered as a kind, soft spoken and humble person, and he will be dearly missed - not least of all at this year's ComradesMarathon start line, where he was looking forward to lining up for his back-to-back medal.
May his memory always be a blessing to everyone who knew him. Rest in peace Jaco! 🪽☀️🪽
