NSL Afro-hairstyle midfielder Lubulu Kitamba speaks on Mathare United's journey to reclaim Premier League status
Congolese International's inspiring football journey from grassroots to leading Mathare United's resurgence.
“I sent someone at the touchline to get him water and then I saw him touch his chest as if something was wrong with his heart and he then knelt down.
“By the time we were getting him water, he said he did not want it again while breathing heavily this time. We tried a CPR [cardiopulmonary resuscitation] test but his heartbeat was weak.
“This is when we got him into the car and rushed him to the hospital. On our way, we noticed his pulse was weak and assumed he was just unconscious.
“When we arrived at Mama Lucy Hospital, we took him into the emergency and the doctors conducted some tests and told us that unfortunately, he had passed away.
“This is hard for us to take because he never exhibited any signs of discomfort previously. He played well and even in the warmup before this game he was fine.”
The former Kibra United player has been in Kenya for nearly three years after coming to the country for football trials and study.
