South Africans took to social media to pay tribute Jonah Lomu since his death was announced. The giant of rugby sadly died in Auckland overnight. He had suffered from kidney problems since 1995 and received a transplant in 2004.
At the age of 19, Lomu became the youngest player to wear an All Blacks jersey and became the most famous rugby player in the world for his tactical skills and spirited way of playing. He leaves behind a wife and two children.
May his soul rest in peace.
So sad to hear the news of the passing of the king Jonah Lomu… 🙁 not that I knew him personally but he was such a big part of my childhood… This was my favorite game growing up! A photo posted by J’Something™ (@jsomethingmusic) on
