(MENAFN) On Saturday, May. 8 friends, family and colleagues were amongst the people who got together at Eskhaleni TVET college in Empangeni on the KwaZulu-Natal north coast to pay their last homage to Lindani Myeni.

The ex-rugby player was fired and killed by Honolulu police last month in Hawaii, the United States. His remains were sent to his home land in the past week.

His wife Lindsay Myeni, who had yet to accept her husband's loss, stated: "I can't believe that his body is gone but his spirits is not gone. He has left us with more courage now, more than we ever had."

Peggy Nkonyeni, member of the Executive Council for Transport, Community Safety and Liaison in KwaZulu-Nata, noted: "to the whole Myeni family, his in-laws the Andersons, and his friends across the globe, our presence here today is to comfort and console you."
