Upon hearing of the death of Lewis, Orlando Pirates chairman Dr Irvin Khoza said it was great loss for South African football.
"The passing away of Eddie Lewis is great loss to Moroka Swallows and to South African football as a whole. Eddie joined the old National Professional Soccer League when it was not fashionable and when it was not clear in which direction the country was taking," he said.
"His presence gave the confidence to sponsors at the time to back the league and he was already there when the NPSL went multi-racial in 1976."
