FORMER Zifa panel referee Judah Nsingo has died at the age of 79.
A nephew of Nsingo, George Sibanda, confirmed on Friday that his uncle passed on on Wednesday after a battle with diabetes and prostate cancer.
“He is no more. He died on Wednesday and will be buried on Sunday in Gwatemba, Filabusi. There will be a church service tomorrow (today) followed by his farewell at his Bellevue home,” said Sibanda.
He said the family had lost a pillar.
Nsingo started his refereeing in the 1970s and was among the top referees in Bulawayo and region at Independence and officiated well into the 1990s.
He was a member of the provincial executive handling appointments.
He will be buried at Gwatemba on Sunday.
His church service will be held at Doves this afternoon.
