By Paul Nyathi|The Highlanders Football Club supporter who was last week admitted at Mpilo Central Hospital Intensive Care Unit after falling from the terraces at Barbourfields Stadium during a match between Bosso and Shabanie Mine has died.

Prince Ncube (49), who has since been established to have been a soldier based at Lookout Masuku Barracks, was seriously injured after falling while celebrating a goal by Highlanders who won the match 3-1.

Ncube fell from the highest point of the rail poles that divide the sitting bays in the stadium.

Ncube was popular in the terraces for his stunts of sliding from the top of the rail poles to the ground in celebration of goals by his favourite football club, Highlanders.

Bulawayo Metropolitan Province acting police spokesperson Assistant Inspector Abednico Ncube said Ncube died at around midnight yesterday.

“I can confirm receiving a report of the death of Prince Ncube, a male aged 49 who was last Sunday injured after falling off the terraces at Barbourfields Stadium. He succumbed to the serious body injuries he sustained and passed on yesterday at around 12 midnight,” he said.
