Truly sad to hear of the passing of Goolam Rajah- a friend and legendary team manager of the Proteas. He was an integral part of my cricketing journey, always professional and treated us as family. Thoughts are with Poppy and family. pic.twitter.com/oDghH5V2HD

Goolam was an outstanding and gentle person. Got to know him well through the years. He was kind and generous and I have so many wonderful memories of him and the great conversations we had. Condolences to the family may he Rest In Peace.

I will now have to delete #GoolamRajah's telephone number off my phone. SA cricket is much poorer now that he is gone. When players were treated unfairly, he was there to comfort and reassure you of your abilities. He was humble, loved and a Giant of his time!#RIPLegend pic.twitter.com/vTxXDsGiJb
