Former Dynamos left back Simon ‘Tangwena’ Sachiti has died.

He was 75.

Sachiti passed away in Harare Saturday morning after a short illness.
Sachiti rose to prominence in the formative years of Dynamos where he played as a left back and was one of the 1972 Soccer Star of the year finalists.
He was among the five Dynamos players that graced the Soccer Stars calendar in 1972 alongside George ‘Mastermind’ Shaya, Daniel ‘Dhidhidhi’ Ncube, Shaw ‘ Kojak’ Hadriade and Enerst ‘ Nyamuzihwa’ Kamba.

After retiring, Sachiti went into adminstration becoming one of the longest serving committee members at Dynamos. His last portfolio was the secretary general’s post in 2011 before he was booted out.

His death follows that of former Dynamos captain Mischeck Chidzambwa and another legend David ‘Yogi’ Mandigora who passed away in the last month.
