SouthAfrica's Minister of Sports, Arts and Culture, Gayton
McKenzie, announced his passing in a statement.
"It is
with profound shock and a heavy heart that I have learnt of the passing of
Jayden Adams.
South
African football has lost one of its brightest young talents, and our nation
mourns alongside his family, his team-mates and the millions of supporters who
watched him grow from a promising academy prospect into a full Bafana Bafana
international."

suburb in central Cape Town, on Saturday morning.
"The
cause of Jayden's passing has not yet been confirmed, and I wish to appeal to
members of the media and the public to exercise restraint and compassion, and
to refrain from speculation, while his family and Mamelodi Sundowns are given
the space and privacy they need at this incredibly difficult time.
Any official
information will be communicated by the appropriate parties in due
course." McKenzie said
