Former Nkana star Godfrey Muselepete has died after collapsing in Serenje on Monday evening.
Ex-winger Muselepete, 53, died of suspected high blood pressure.
“He died around 19:00 hours after collapsing at his farm in Serenje. He was hypertensive,” his niece Monica Mwenda said on Tuesday.
Funeral is at his Kitwe home in Kwacha Township.
“He used to frequent Serenje because he had a piece of land where he was farming,” Mwenda said.
Muselepete joined Nkana from Nkwazi and played alongside Beston Chambeshi, Mordon Malitoli, Kapambwe Mulenga, Estone Mulenga, Mwila Numba and Gibby Mbasela.
He was part of the formidable Nkana side that won the FAZ Super Division title in 1988, 1989, 1990 plus 1992 and 1993 under coach Moses “Chairman” Simwala.
