Chrispen, A Gentle Giant Departs

Nyamutambo (32) died tragically in a freak road accident in his native Zimbabwe when his car collided head-on with a bus.

An embodiment of discipline, the affable player inspired many with his brilliant displays on the field and unsurpassed gentlemanly behaviour off the pitch. He came to Botswana in the late 1990s from a Harare-based side, Darryn T to join Francistown giants, TAFIC. He reached the pinnacle of his career in 2002 when he led TAFIC to a successful Coca Cola Cup campaign. He was crowned the goalkeeper of the series.  In that year, he was called to represent his country in a COSAFA Castle Cup match for his only senior national team cap. The next season, he quit the Francistown giants who at the time were facing financial problems, and joined Nico United.
