Ajax Cape Town defender Cecil Lolo, 27, got a hero's send-off in his Eastern Cape village yesterday, but the funeral was punctuated by verbal attacks on the football club, led by MEC for Sport, Recreation, Arts and Culture Pemmy Majodina. Majodina and several other speakers took turns criticising the club, which was not represented at the funeral until two-and-a-half hours into the service when coach Roger de Sa and chairman Ari Efstathiou arrived. No players attended.De Sa and Efstathiou declined the opportunity to address the hundreds of mourners in Chebe in Centane.Eftathiou said their late arrival was due to wrong directions being provided. "The whole club wanted to be here but the situation was a little bit difficult," he said.Majodina said: "[Ajax] have made money out of this young man's talent but find it too expensive to spend to attend his funeral."The MEC also criticised the Western Cape government. "Had the organisation of the people [ANC] been in government there where Lolo played his football, they would have followed Lolo to his final resting place, but the government of the day there is nowhere to be seen today," she said.Representing Safa Amathole, Ace Siyongwana also threw some jabs at Ajax saying they were "ungrateful even though Lolo won them the MTN8 Cup". Safa Cape Town official Vusumzi Shinto concurred.Majodina described Lolo, who died in a car crash in Khayelitsha two weeks ago, as a "hero of our country"...
