FORMER Warriors workaholic, Kingstone Nkhatha is part of the 21 participants undertaking the ZIFA Administration and Management Course currently underway in Mutare.
The participants are drawn from diverse football institutions and clubs, including elite referees as well as Premiership clubs.
However, for Nkhatha, this is a crucial stepping stone into football management and administration that the former Kaizer Chiefs and SuperSport United player thinks is a must have for former football players.
Nkhatha said: “I really want to urge fellow former football players as well as those who are active to take these courses seriously. They really help in making them professional in their approach to football management and administration. In the same breath, let me also thank the ZIFA administration for availing such courses so that we run the game professionally.”
Born in Zvimba, Nkhatha started his senior career with the now defunct Buymore FC before moving to CAPS United.
He later had a stint with Dynamos FC.
South of the Limpopo, he moved to South Africa in 2007, playing for Free State Stars, Carara Kicks and Black Leopards.
For three season, Nkhatha turned out for South African giants, Kaizer Chiefs (2012–2015) under coach, Stuart Baxter, winning major honours including the ABSA Premiership title and domestic cup trophies.
Nkhatha was highly valued for his high work rate.
He later transferred to SuperSport United in January 2015 – winning the Nedbank Cup, and later played for Mbombela United.
He also played for the Zimbabwe national football team.
