@RfcKabras@piratesrugbyUG I saw a boda guys whisking him away from the goons who were flogging him but instead of running 4 his dear life he was busy trying 2 xplain himself!
What a cruel world! To imagine that such a talent - a star who proudly flew our national flag with the Uganda Rugby Cranes - fell at the hands of a mob is as alarming as it is devastating. We all hope that there will be justice for this heinous crime. Deepest condolences to his family, the Rugby fraternity, and every fan who cheered him on. May the almighty grant infinite strength to his loved ones during this dark time.
To lose Sydney to mob violence is senseless and breaks all of us. No player, no family, no nation should have to say goodbye like this.
To Sydney’s family and loved ones: The entire rugby fraternity grieves with you.
#JUSTICEFORSYDNEY.
Round up every boda guy on that Bukoto stage, round up the girls who urged on his beatings from a safe zone while recording, that old lady who couldn't summon the inner mother but throw a stone at Syd, the onlookers, and shop keepers.
#JusticeforSydney#Publichearingdemanded
We demand for expeditious arrest and trial of this idiot.
Tomorrow we are laying Sydney to rest in Sironko because this murderer and his goons took his life just like that.
Stay strong @piratesrugbyUG@piratesfansug and rhe entire Rugby fraternity.

We are sorry you went through that alone and in pain …

Everything is not ok, we are pretending to smile, we are breathing, we are walking, we are hugging. BUT Sydney is not here with us 🥲😭
Very very sad day at the sea.
Part of me is completely gone.
