Befitting send off for Striker

A LARGE crowd braved the chilly weather yesterday morning and gathered in Makokoba to pay their last respects to legendary boxing trainer Philip “Striker” Ndlovu, who was later buried at the Lady Stanley Cemetery, Bulawayo.

Ndlovu died at the age of 66 on Thursday after a long illness.

Officials from the Sports ministry, politicians, councillors and Makokoba residents were among the people that attended the church service before family and friends proceeded to Lady Stanley Cemetery to bury him in observance of COVID-19 protocols.
