‘I simply would love to see them face to face,’ mentioned Theo Fleurs.
Theo Fleurs, father of late Kaizer Chiefs defender Luke Fleurs, says he might be in courtroom on Friday morning to look into the eyes of the lads accused of killing his son in a hijacking in Johannesburg on April 3.
Six males have been arrested in connection with the homicide of the 24 year-old, who was shot in a hijacking at a petroleum station in Florida.
Theo Fleurs mentioned he was “jumping for joy” when the South African Police Service advised him that they had discovered his son’s stolen automotive, although that had turned to disappointment when he heard the accused had been arrested.
“I don’t know what I will do,” mentioned Fleurs Snr, when requested how he thought he would react in courtroom this morning.

“I was happy when I heard that they had found the car, I was jumping for joy, but the morning they called to say they had found the (alleged) perpetrators, I was so sad, I couldn’t help myself. I don’t know how it is going to be (in court) I just would like to see them face to face.”
‘I am super proud’
Fleurs Snr added that he was pleased with his son, who achieved a boyhood dream of representing Kaizer Chiefs and who additionally performed for South Africa on the 2020 Tokyo Olympic Games.
“I’m grateful for the chance Cheifs gave him, that is the very best stage of South African soccer, to play for Amakhosi.
“I am super proud of my son, and what he achieved in life and gave to his country, he was a true warrior for his country. That is a war (international football) … and he was a good fighter for the game.”
Luke Fleurs’ father was talking at a memorial for the defender that Kaizer Chiefs held at FNB Stadium on Thursday.
