Tributes are pouring in for former Civo United and Escom United international forward, Noel Mkandawire.
The former striker died in Mzuzu on Saturday aged 38 after succumbing to a lengthy liver related illness.
Civil Sporting Club General Secretary, Thom Makiwa, said the club, which emerged from the ashes of relegated Civo United, is shocked by Mkandawire’s passing.
“As a team, we are really saddened. He was a player who dedicated most of his time to the club and we will live to remember him,” he said.
“After his playing career ended, he also helped the team as a member of the coaching panel.”
Northern Region Football Association General Secretary, Masiya Nyasulu, whose association drummed up financial support for Mkandawire when he was hospitalised, described his death as a loss to the country.
“He was an important player. He was talented and he was a good example to up-and-coming players. He was disciplined and friendly,” Nyasulu added.
Late Mkandawire was born on December 25, 1978 at Euthini in Mzimba District.
Meanwhile, burial arrangements are not yet known.
