Tributes pour in for âspecial human beingâ and late Proteas icon Goolam Rajah Share JOHANNESBURG - Goolam Rajah never hit a cricket ball, nor caught one or bowled one for the Proteas, but he was among the greatest servants of the Proteas. âA very special human being,â said Dr. Mohammed Moosajee, who took over from Rajah as the Proteasâ manager. That was a sentiment echoed around the cricket world, from Proteas players, who were part of the more than 100 who were capped during his time as the manager to players in opposing teams and commentators. MORE ON THIS âHe was a selfless person. He served the game. He loved the game,â said Moosajee.
