Footballer dies after road crash

ferried to his              rural home in Mhondoro for burial set for today.
Ten of the players from Division One and Two side sides — David Whitehead, Kadoma United and Cossy Rules — were part of the travelling party and are lucky to be alive.
A number of players — Simbarashe Simoko, Edward Mandipe, Sheraz Noor, Freddy Katumba, Knowledge Bandera, Onias Nyangombe, Arkim Masango and Farai “Koso” Nyangombe — were injured.
The truck they were travelling in was involved in a head-on collision with a Ford Ranger on the 10km peg from Kadoma near Ingezi turn-off.
The truck, which the players were using, tried to overtake a haulage truck, resulting in the collision.
The injured players were all admitted at Kadoma General Hospital.
