Cape Town - A popular Elsies River man has died after being struck by a gang bullet while refereeing a community soccer match on Sunday.
Brandon Solomons, 37, died within minutes after the bullet hit him in the eye.

According to residents, Solomons, who was a member of the Elsies River Soccer Club, was volunteering at a community tournament on an open field when he was killed shortly after 4pm.

Pastor Johannes Weilbacht, who witnessed the shooting, says children ran for cover when suspects opened fire across the field.

“I was helping a disabled man and then they said someone collapsed on the field. I went to look and saw the blood coming out of Brandon’s mouth. I checked his pulse and after five minutes it was gone,” says the pastor.

The father of seven was fondly known as “Darky” and was known for his dedication in helping to keep children off the streets by coaching them.

Joe isn't a Afrikaans name.

It's how it's pronounced, not spelt.
