For Moroka Swallows supporters, Grobler's death represents the loss of a figure connected to the club's heritage. The Dube Birds have a rich football history, and former players and personalities remain an important part of the memories associated with the institution.

Although details surrounding his passing and funeral arrangements were not included in the available report, De Sa's tribute has added to the expressions of respect following the news.

His description of Grobler as a phenomenal player captures the admiration he held for the late football figure. As tributes continue, Grobler's association with Moroka Swallows and his contribution to the sport remain central to how he is being remembered.
