A dark cloud hung over the local football fraternity yesterday following news that Dynamos assistant coach Biggie Zuze had died.<\/p>\n
The 55-year-old succumbed to the struggle for breath at HighGlen Clinic before he could be transferred to Harare Hospital in what is arguably the most appalling calamity to hit local football so far this year.<\/p>\n
