Sofapaka president Elly Kalekwa has promised to help settle Wisdom Naya's medical expenses after the youthful midfielder was diagnosed with cancerous soft tissue, sarcoma.
Naya is part of the Sofapaka youth team and is set to under chemotherapy sessions in the coming week after the diagnosis that shows his left knee has been affected by the tumour. A number of public figures had called for financial support for the midfielder before Kalekwa came out to make the promise of financial assistance.
"I was so touched by Naya’s condition and as family, we have resolved to be involved in his treatment," Kalekwa said as was reported by the club's website.
