“We refer to him as the Golden President based on the performance of his athletes at the last All Africa games in Morocco. It’s a total loss, we just pray that God will be with his family.
“It is so shocking and we’ve not even been able to get over the shock alone because of the way he was very closed to everybody. He was the guy behind the success of his Federation.”
