Kenya Cup side Mwamba RFC are mourning the loss of team manager Stephanie Rose Otieno who passed on Monday morning following a tragic road accident on the Nakuru-Nairobi highway.

Stephanie, who has been part of Mwamba's technical bench since 2019, is reported to have been on her way back to Nairobi after being with Kulabu at the Prinsloo 7s tournament in Nakuru where the team lost their 5th place semifinal match 21-19 against Kabras Sugar.

It’s with shock and horror that we are saddened to inform you of the passing away of our Team Manager, Stephanie-Rose Otieno (@AfrikanStar_ ) in a car crash in Nakuru early this morning. More information to follow.

The country's rugby governing body, Kenya Rugby Union and other rugby outfits in the country also joined in conveying their messages of condolences,

“We join the Mwamba RFC family in mourning Stephanie -Rose Otieno. Rest In Peace,” KRU posted.

“Our condolences to the family and friends of Stephanie and Mwamba RFC following her tragic passing earlier today. Poleni sana,” Kabras wrote.

I refuse to accept. This one has hit very close to my heart. Spend the evening talking about plans for Mwamba Ladies and the club as much. You had ambitions for the game and the club. We love you Steph. Rest. 💔💔💔 https://t.co/teOAzDu6cP

Stephanie landed the appointment when the club made changes to the technical bench following the exit of long-serving Director of Rugby Edwin Waita.

The changes saw Tito Oduk named Director of Rugby while Fahad Adil Mohammed was appointed to the club's overall team manager assisted by Alphonce Mwachia who was to be the Logistics Manager and Stephanie-Rose appointed to double as Mwamba Ladies and men's Team Manager.

Mozzart Sport fraternity would like to convey their condolences to the friends and family of Stephanie Rose Otieno and the entire Mwamba fraternity at large during this period of sadness.
