Scores throng Yogi burial

DESPERATE fans wishing to bid farewell to Zimbabwean football legend David “Yogi” Mandigora, who died on Saturday, overwhelmed the organisers as scores thronged the Glen Forest Memorial Park in Harare yesterday defying government ban on large public gatherings.

At the weekend, government, battling to slow down COVID-19 infections which had been recorded in the past week, banned public gatherings, with only 30 people allowed to gather at funerals.

But the burial of the Dynamos football legend, which was supposed to be a private ceremony for only family members, close friends and the media, turned into a public gathering with well over 200 attendees.
