admin“Lindile left for our rural home with one of our brothers on Friday where they spent the whole day visiting relatives and viewing our fields.
“On Saturday night he started vomiting and it went on until the following morning where he was now vomiting blood before he was rushed to a nearby clinic where his condition deteriorated leading to his death,” said Dube.
He said the body was expected in Bulawayo yesterday for a postmortem, and that burial was most likely going to be on Wednesday but was not sure where as the family was yet to discuss the burial arrangements.
Passing his message of condolences, the Zimbabwe Soccer Coaches Association secretary Oscar Mazhambe said the passing on of Dube has left a void in Zisca.
“We have lost one of the most senior members of the coaching fraternity who had done a lot for this region in terms of promoting teams to the Premiership. It was really shocking to learn of his death. Year 2011 has not been a good year for us as coaches as we have lost a number of our members,” said Mazhambe.
Sports Writers Association of Zimbabwe national secretary-general Lovemore Dube said Lindile had left behind a proud legacy.
“On behalf of Swaz members, I would like to pass our sincere condolences to his family especially his wife and kids,” said Dube.
The nomadic coach had stints with Zesa (Munyati) before being appointed assistant coach to Ashton Nyazika at Masvingo United in 2001.
Dube has a proud record of guiding two teams from Division One into the elite Premier Soccer League in two successive years.
He was at the helm when Beitbridge-based Underhill were promoted into the Premiership in 2006 and a year later, led Zimbabwe Saints to glory before brief stints with Harare side Motor Action.
Lindile is survived by a wife and four kids and mourners are gathered at house number 1152 Old Luveve.
