Joyce Murape passed away last week in the UK, and arrangements have been made to bring her body to Zimbabwe.

A statement on the club’s website reads as follows:

Black Leopards FC’s family, management, players and staff express their condolences to coach Shepherd Murape on the loss of his sister Joyce Murape.

We pray that the Almighty gives our coach and the Murape family comfort and strength during their time of need.

Black Leopards has given the Coach leave of absence until after the funeral.
