HIGHLANDERS Football Club has joined thousands of Zimbabweans who are mourning the death of supporter Lister Dube.
She died at the age of 68 at her Natisa homestead in Matobo District along the Bulawayo-Maphisa Road on Tuesday morning.
She had not been well for a while.
In a statement posted on the club’s social pages Bosso wrote, “Highlanders Football Club has learned with deep sadness of the passing of a devoted fan, Lister Dube.
“Lister wasn’t just a supporter, her home in Natisa, in Kezi, was a vibrant tribute to her unwavering love for the club. The entrance was a sight to behold, adorned with Highlanders logos and our famous black and white colours, with our flag flying high for all to see. Her homestead was a powerful symbol of the passion that defines the Bosso family.
“We extend our deepest and most heartfelt condolences to Lister’s family, her friends and the entire Highlanders community. Her spirit and dedication will forever be a part of our story.”
Dube, a former Chronicle and Sunday News agent, started supporting Highlanders in 1972 when she moved from Natisa to settle at Kusile Flats close to where the Ndlovu siblings Madinda, Eveline, Marko, Peter and the late Adam Ndlovu lived.
According to her uncle Major Moyo, funeral arrangements will be confirmed once her United of Kingdom based daughter Sikhululekile Msebele arrives on Thursday.
“She was a person of humility. She raised many kids some of them are abroad. She liked Highlanders long back when she was still a young lady before she had kids. She stayed at Makoboba’s Kusile Flats next to where Madinda and Adam Ndlovu (deceased),” said Moyo.
