We are saddened to hear about the passing of @Springboks great Chester Williams. Chester was an iconic figure in world rugby, a fierce rival of the All Blacks on the field and a friend off it. You will be missed. Rest in love, Chester. pic.twitter.com/I1OTHvKiRI

Heartbroken to hear of Chester’s passing inspirational and larger than life in so many ways and he always had a smile on his face. . . My thoughts and condolences go out to Maria, his kids, family and loved ones. . . #RIPChessie

Gentlemen, we’ve become monsters to our sisters, mothers, daughters, companions and friends. We certainly can’t turn a blind eye any more! We need to look at ourselves and be brave for our own – our precious stones the Lord has given us to help us live this life with, our ribs. Coming from a rugby background I understand how important ribs are. Brake or fracture them, you can’t breathe. This is not gonna happen with a million of us gathering to protest or seek for some sort of justice. It’s gonna happen when you’re alone, coming back from work or simply going to the shop to buy some bread and milk. We can’t look the other way anymore, we need to act! It’s all dependent on us. It might not be your relative this time, it’ll certainly be yours tomorrow though. #NoOneShouldBeNext
