“Rodney Ramagalela and his family wish to thank South Africans and the football fraternity for their overwhelming support in their time of need,” read the statement from the family.

“The Ramagalelas are still coming to terms with the painful loss after their family home burnt to ashes in the early hours of Tuesday morning in Mamvuka village in Limpopo’s Vhembe district, in a suspected arson attack. The striker shared the home with his blind father Frans and four siblings. Thankfully no one was home at the time of the fire.”

The cause of the of fire is yet unknown and the family is awaiting a report from the South African Police Service, but in the meantime, they have made the plea with anyone to help start afresh after losing everything in the house.

“Currently the family is waiting for a preliminary report from the South African Police Services (SAPS) on what exactly caused the fire. The family has full confidence in law enforcement authorities to bring those involved in the heartless attack to book,” the statement continued.

“As the family’s sole breadwinner Ramagalela is appealing to South Africans to lend a helping hand as he attempts to rebuild the family home. The family has lost everything in the fire and will need all the support they can get.”

The family has opened a bank account where donations can be made.  Those who wish to offer other forms of pledges are encouraged to do so.
