Adam Ndlovu burial arrangements

By Ezra ‘Tshisa’ Sibanda

Former Coventry City and Zimbabwe national team striker Peter Ndlovu was successfully operated on today and both legs look fine. He is progressing well.

Our dear friend and brother Adam Ndlovu will be laid to rest on Saturday at Lady Stanley Cemetery Bulawayo, where most of our fallen heroes are buried.

On Friday at 2.00pm there will be a funeral procession from Nyaradzo Funeral parlour via Chicken Inn Fort St/10th Avenue where Adam worked as their football coach, then move back to 6th Ave Extension, join Luveve Road on the way to Luveve Stadium.

Current Highlanders FC & Chicken Inn FC players are expected to jog in front of the procession, followed by Highlanders legends in convoy up to Luveve Stadium where there will be a 45 minute service for everyone who wants to pay their last respects to this son of the soil.

After the service the funeral procession will head straight back to the City Centre where Adam’s body will lie in state awaiting burial on Saturday. At 8.00am Saturday morning there will be a service and body viewing at Amphitheatre Bulawayo.

After that Adam’s body will then be ferried in another funeral procession via Bulawayo City Centre straight to Makokoba where he grew up, then head straight to Barbourfields Stadium where Adamski made his name as a footballer playing for Highlanders FC.

The procession won’t stop for long at BF as the stadium is out of use because of shortage of water supply, then head straight to Lady Stanley Cemetery where the late legendary, the adorable, the people’s warrior, the one and only Adam Ndlovu will be laid to rest.

Our sister Nomqhele Tshili who also died in the same accident will be laid to rest in Esiphezini her rural home about 20km from Bulawayo on Thursday morning at 9.00am.

Let’s go and support Tshili family at this time of need and thank you to Highlanders legends for helping out in the funeral arrangements of our dear late sister Nomqhele.

If you are in Bulawayo please come out in your numbers, line up the streets on Friday and Saturday and make this the biggest sending off and a memorable occasion for our brother, friend and father Adam Ndlovu.

Thanks so much for all the messages of support. I’m sure God is conveying all your messages to Adam and is appreciating!
