Charles Siyauya, the secretary-general of the Namibia Football Association (NFA), passed away tragically, the organisation reported. The football community was shocked by Siyauya’s sudden death after he was hospitalised for a suspected cardiac condition. Siyauya was the Secretary for Information and Mobilisation for the Swapo Party Youth League (SPYL) before joining the NFA. The tragedy is compounded by the fact that he passed away unexpectedly only a day after meeting with COSAFA leaders in Windhoek. He will be sorely mourned for his contributions to sport and politics.
