According to the Lesotho Football Association (LeFA) Media Officer, Mikia Kalati, his funeral service will be held at the Swallows Football Club ground.
LeFA had earlier last week released a media statement informing the football fraternity of the passing of ‘Ribbo’ as the veteran coach was affectionately called, who had a long coaching career in Lesotho's top flight football.
His coaching career started in the late 70s, spanning over three decades and he was among a list of the most decorated coaches in the country having enjoyed a lot of success during his time in charge of LDF and later LCS.
