admin“The burial will take place tomorrow (today). We have already drafted the programme that will see us have a church service at his Number 2 Christson Road, North End home at 9am,” said Ben.
His body will be taken to Pumula East where he made his name as a soccer player and contributed towards the installation of floodlights at Pumula East Ground.
“We will take his body to the Pumula East Ground at 10.30am where the community and his friends are expected to bid him farewell at the pitch where he made his name. We thought this would be a fitting tribute to him and from there we will head to West Park for the burial,” said Ben.
Oscar died on Friday morning after complaining of stomach pains in Esigodini on Wednesday night.
A hit in the lower divisions in the 1980s, he also played for Hwange, Welkom Eagles, Alberton Callies and Bloemfontein Celtics in South Africa. On his return home in 1994 he played for Highlanders winners of the BP League Cup that season.
Oscar who ventured into the tyre business in 1998 after working for almost a decade at Sam Ncube’s Bulawayo Tyre Services, was now a miner in Esigodini at the time of his death.
