Pictures emerged on social media of Lekgwathi standing in front of his Grootman restaurant, a victim of the violent looting in the Gauteng province.
Grootman was only launched a few months ago, with Lekgwathi branching into the restaurant business having also started his own foundation as his playing career came to an end, and also launching his own clothing label.
Lekgwathi joined Pirates in 2002 from Ria Stars and was a key part of Ruud Krol’s Buccaneers side that did a ‘double treble’, winning three trophies, including the DStv Premiership title, in the 2010/11 and 2011/12 seasons.
