Charles Yohane (26 August 1973 – 12 February 2022)[1] was a Zimbabwean footballer who played as a midfielder.
Born in a Salisbury suburb as the fourth of seven kids, Yohane came through the Dynamos football academy before joining Fire Batteries. In January 1995, he moved to South Africa joining the Gordon Igesund-managed African Wanderers then returned home to Zimbabwe. He then went back to South Africa to join AmaZulu before a lengthy spell at Bidvest Wits.[2]
Yohane was a member of the Zimbabwe national team at the 2004 African Nations Cup, which finished bottom of its group in the first round of competition, thus failing to secure qualification for the quarter-finals. He also participated at the 2006 African Nations Cup, with the same outcome.
Yohane was a coach at the Wits University development team until its collapse in 2020[3] and was later coaching Leruma United FC in the ABC Motsepe League.
Yohane was carjacked and shot dead, suffering a gunshot in February 2022 while in South Africa working as a delivery driver. His body was found in Mzimhlophe, Soweto, on 14 February 2022. He was 48.[4] [5]
