Nkape Leaves Orapa United

Nkape is the 2010 founding chairperson of the Ostriches.  He was instrumental in the formation of the club, which was a merger of teams in north region including Stone Breakers and Orapa Wanderers, a decade ago. After the Debswana involvement in 2014, Nkape was relegated to the position of vice chairperson. But a decade later the fiery administrator is leaving his post ahead of the club's Annual General Meeting (AGM) to be held next Saturday.

"I am nearing my retirement, so I have decided that it is now time to leave Orapa United. There were people in the team who did not want me to leave. But I have done so much for the team and I think it is time to hand over to someone while for me it is time to spend more time with my family," Nkape told Monitor Sport. During his tenure, United won the Mascom Top 8, Orange FA Cup and finished as league runners-up twice and made a maiden appearance in the CAF Confederations Cup. Nkape said the Top 8 triumph in 2016 was his sweetest memory with the club.
