Noah Tjatindi's death a loss for Epukiro Masters
Epukiro Masters Club (EMC) is mourning the loss of one of its founding members, Noah Tjatindi, who died on Monday at Epukiro in the Omaheke Region after a short illness.
Sports coordinator of EMC Justus Kavari said Tjatindi was a public relations officer of the club but worked as an adviser in many aspects.
“This is a very big loss and we are hurt with the family to lose such a vibrant and dedicated leader who played a vital role in the development of sports at Epukiro,” Kavari said.
Kavari described Tjatindi as a good organiser and tactical person when stuck with obstacles. “He would always come up with the second option when things were not going to plan,” added Kavari.
He said the entire sporting community in Omaheke would remember Tjatindi for his organisational skills, especially at the Epukiro Post 3 Secondary School where he was working.
Tjatindi played a pivotal role in organising fundraising events for the renovations of the Good Hope Primary School and Epukiro Post 3 Secondary School.
“He will be remembered for his tackling abilities and was recognised as one of the best defenders in the country; he was feared as tackling defender and many strikers respected him,” noted Kavari.
Tjatindi played for Young Hungry Lions, Okaondeka Aces, Okakarara and Drimiopsis School, Kalkpan, Maroon Brothers and started playing social football with EMS upon his retirement.
Established in 2002, EMC is a social club comprised of mainly former players from the Epukiro Constituency and veterans from different parts of the country.
Its prime focus is to develop the community, youth and assist schools with educational needs.
Tjatindi was born on 24 April 1968 at Okomungondo in the Otjinene Constituency. He will be buried on Sunday at Kalkpan in the Epukiro area.
