Genuinely tragic news, as Shepherd Makunura has passed away.

May His Soul Rest in Eternal Peace

He was Southern Rocks head coach and an on-off assistant coach for the men’s national team, as well as recently a national selector.

He won four consecutive Logan Cups (3 with Mountaineers, and then with Rocks) and was universally liked and respected as a very good local coach.

Sad loss to Zim Cricket this. MHSRIP.

Oh no! RIP Shepherd.

I know he was a dedicated coach and had some pretty high level coaching qualifications. Did a lot for the juniors too. https://www.google.com/amp/s/www.espncr ... atform=amp

Does anyone know how he died?

Really sad news. Was just 46 too

Makunura (46) succumbed to illness at a private hospital in Harare.

Makunura is survived by his wife, Sinikiwe Mpofu, a former Zimbabwe international cricketer who is the current Zimbabwe senior women’s national team assistant coach, and two children.

Aids?

Wow this is a real shock, so sad for Shep and his family.

There will be people reading this forum who know Shep personally so I'd wager thats a bit uncalled for....

Probably the most likely next black head coach of Zim.

Unfortunately a couple of other very good local coaches have emigrated this year also, to add to this sad death.
