South African tennis star Kevin Anderson has tragically revealed that his cousin, Bruce Franck, lost his life in a devastating home invasion earlier this month.
Franck was attacked at his home in South Africa on 4 April and succumbed to his injuries on 16 April despite being admitted to intensive care.
Anderson has initiated a fundraising campaign to support Franck's children, Alex and Savannah, in the wake of their father's untimely passing.
The campaign aims to raise R750,000 to provide for the children's education, care, and long-term needs, garnering significant public support with over R592,000 raised from 134 donors.
Describing Franck as a devoted father, Anderson highlighted the profound impact his cousin had on his life and career, recalling Franck's presence during Anderson's Wimbledon final run in 2018.
The incident adds to the concerning trend of violent crimes and home invasions in South Africa, raising calls for enhanced safety measures and interventions to protect communities.
