Church service will be held at the family home at 9 am and burial should be held by lunchtime at Mangwandi Cemetery.
We have been comforted by so many people from the football fraternity and business circles who came to mourn with the family, friends and relatives.
Indeed he was a man of the people and he will carry that gift to his grave.
