Lana Coetzee, his daughter, told the South African outlet IOL Sport that her father died from “an aggressive form of cancer” that they only discovered the week before.

His daughter said in a statement that “He loved us so much, he was a family man through and through.”

“He was stern when he had to be, but his heart was very small. He was the light in our lives, it feels so unreal,” she said.

A movie on the life and career of Coetzee titled “Against All Odds” had been in production before his death, but will now have to be released posthumously.
