Jantjies passed away in a hospital in Stellenbosch on Wednesday reportedly through complications from having a leg amputated due to diabetes, with news sending the country's football lovers into mourning.
The former Hellenic stalwart will now be honoured by Cape Town's only topflight club when they host Kaizer Chiefs in the Absa Premiership this weekend.
The club sent their condolences to Jantjies's family and close friends, while confirming plans for a minute's applause at the Cape Town Stadium on Saturday.
"Cape Town City mourns the passing of Cape Town football legend Reggie Jantjies," said The Citizens in a statement on social media.
"The club will be honouring Reggie during the 7th minute of our league game this weekend vs Kaizer Chiefs. We encourage all supporters to stand and clap on the 7th minute for Reggie."

RIP Reggie Jantjies. Although I'd been a fan of the old Cape Town City, I enjoyed watching Reggie front the Hellenic attack many a time at Hartleyvale on Friday evenings in the then-NPSL.

I was on the half way line at Hartleyvale @AmaZuluFootball v Hellenic when Reggie hit one on the half volley from 40m. I watched it swerve into the top corner. Almost applauded but we were 4-2 down! #ReggieJantjies
