The late Warriors and Highlanders legend, Rahman Gumbo was yesterday accorded a State-assisted funeral.
In correspondence written on a Zanu PF letterhead and addressed to the Chief Secretary to the President and Cabinet, Martin Rushwaya, party secretary general Obert Mpofu intimated the former midfield workhorse was a Zanu PF member “from Bulawayo province”.
Mpofu said that the President and First Secretary of Zanu PF, Dr Emmerson Mnangagwa had conferred a state-assisted funeral to the late Gumbo, who died on November 10, 2023.
“I shall be most grateful if you would make the usual arrangements for his burial and payments of benefits to his family. He is from Bulawayo province.”
Gumbo, who starred for the legendary Dream Team under the late former Germany mentor, Reinhard Fabisch back in the 1990s, died aged 59 last Friday in his Botswana base where he had coaching stints.
His body is expected to be repatriated today ahead of his burial in Bulawayo on Saturday.
