LEGENDARY ex Warriors striker and captain Peter Ndlovu has been gifted a well-deserved top-of-the-range 2024 BMW X6M by flamboyant businessman Wicknel Chivayo.
The car costs R2,6 million which is equivalent to US$144 000.
Fondly known as Nsukuzonke, Ndlovu was yesterday set to collect his new toy at South Africa’s Vogue Auto Motors in Sandton, South Africa.
“Zimbabwe’s football history is incomplete without mentioning one player who pushed boundaries and showed the world that when talent meets hard work, MAGIC happens. From the dusty streets of Makokoba in Bulawayo, a young, super-talented footballer dreamed of becoming the pride of Zimbabwe’s football. His consistency at Highlanders Football Club dazzled fans as much as we ALL loved him as captain of the national team, the Warriors. He made history as the first African to play in the English Premier League in 1992, breaking records and elevating our nation’s presence on the global stage.
“I have always admired his exceptional ability to remain humble, professional and unassuming, even with such immense talent and being sought after by numerous premier league clubs. His incredible skill and sportsmanship made us proud to be called Zimbabweans. This is a small token of my appreciation for your outstanding contribution to the game of football and for inspiring generations of Zimbabwean soccer fans,” wrote Chivayo on his Facebook wall.
Nsukuzonke is one of the greatest footballers that have ever been seen on the field in Zimbabwe and let alone in the world.
He celebrated his 51st birthday in February and it was no wonder he was joined by many who adored him.
It was evident at his birthday function that Zimbabwean entity Zororo Phumulani, where he is a brand ambassador, threw a huge party for the legendary former Warriors gunslinger and captain.
The party was attended by Ndlovu’s fellow legends Kaitano Tembo, Edelbert Dinha, Innocent Chikoya, Mpumelelo Dzowa and Tapuwa Kapini, among others. — @FungaiMuderere
