Geen ander voertuie was by die ongeluk betrokke nie, hoewel Steyn volgens die plaaslike polisie vermoedelik beheer oor sy motorfiets verloor en teen &#8216;n betonmuur gebots het. Die oorsaak en omstandighede rakende die botsing word in die stadium deur die Malmesbury-polisiekantoor ondersoek, voeg polisiewoordvoerder sers. Henry du Randt by.\n<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Boodskappe van medelye het begin instroom kort nadat die skoknuus oor sy dood bekendgeword het.\n<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Steyn, &#8216;n oudleerder van Schoonspruit Sekond\u00ear, wat sy skool se atletiek- en eerste rugbyspan verteenwoordig het, het onder meer as skrumskakel vir die Abbotsdale-rugbyklub se eerstespan uitgedraf. Volgens Raynard de Jager, die skoolhoof van Schoonspruit Sekond\u00ear, was Steyn &#8216;n nederige en gewilde leer\u00adder. Hy was in sy matriekjaar (2012) ook lid van die gekombineerde span bestaande uit Schoonspruit en die Ho\u00ebrskool Piketberg wat &#8216;n toer na Johannesburg meegemaak het.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"683\" data-attachment-id=\"295716\" data-permalink=\"https:\/\/novanews.co.za\/swartlandgazette\/motorfietsongeluk-eis-geliefde-klubrugbyspeler-32-van-die-swartland\/chadsteynrugby_23961\/\" data-orig-file=\"https:\/\/novanews.co.za\/swartlandgazette\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/ChadSteynrugby_23961.jpeg\" data-orig-size=\"1200,800\" data-comments-opened=\"1\" data-image-meta=\"{&quot;aperture&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;credit&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;camera&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;caption&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;created_timestamp&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;copyright&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;focal_length&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;iso&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;shutter_speed&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;title&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;orientation&quot;:&quot;0&quot;}\" data-image-title=\"ChadSteynrugby_23961\" data-image-description=\"&lt;p&gt;Chad Steyn (32) het vir die Abbotsdale-rugbyklub uitgedraf.

Chad het &#8216;n besondere teenwoordigheid gehad en het oral waar hy gegaan het, &#8216;n blywende indruk gemaak.&#8221;\n<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Wanneer Steyn nie vir sy span uitgedraf het nie, het hy sy toks vir die pad verruil met sy passie vir motorfietsry. Steyn het vir &#8216;n skeepsverpakkings\u00admaatskappy gewerk.\n<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&#8220;Namens Abbotsdale-rugbyklub betuig ons ons innige meegevoel aan sy familie, vriendin Taytum en almal wat oor Chad se afsterwe rou. Sy nalatenskap en \u00adherinnering sal altyd deel van ons klub se storie bly en hy sal met groot respek en waardering onthou word.&#8221;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\"
