'Mawawa' Popular Football Manager Shot Dead Outside the Stadium

It has been reported that Siphiwo Nyobo, popularly known as ''Mawawa', has been shot dead

Nyobo is a South African Manager, who is the owner of third division club Tornado FC.

Times Live reports that he was fired upon by three gunmen who ambushed him after watching a game at North End stadium in East London, on the country’s Eastern Cape on Saturday.

Police said the 68-year-old was shot in the upper body around 16:30 in Lennox Street when three gunmen apparently sprayed Nyobo's vehicle with bullets, as he was leaving the stadium after watching a football match there.

Captain Hazel Mqala of East London Police Station said a man believed to be his driver was injured after also being shot in the upper body, while a bystander was shot and injured in the lower body.

His club Tornado FC is in the third tier of South African football, and their most recent win came last weekend when they beat Future Tigers 4-1 in Uitenhage.

While his killers are still on the run, the whole football community across the world condemns this barbarian act.
