A HOMELESS Harare man, who has been living on the streets for 23 years now, got the biggest romantic present of his life when he was given a passionate kiss by a strange “and rich” woman at Rufaro on Sunday.
Stafflage Bire, 36, is a CAPS United fans who paints himself in green-and-white every time his team are playing at home at Rufaro.
On Sunday, he hit the jackpot when a Chegutu Pirates fan gave him a passionate kiss as they were leaving Rufaro after the Green Machine won the game 2-1.
The moment was captured by cameras and yesterday we published their picture on our back page.
That has turned Bire into some sort of a street celebrity. Bire said he doesn’t know the woman who kissed him on that Sunday and he doesn’t even have her number.
“I don’t know the woman who kissed me that day and who is that picture,” Bire told H-Metro.
“We just met at Rufaro where CAPS United were playing against Chegutu Pirates and we didn’t even exchange numbers.
“She was charmed by my artistic face and she asked for a picture because she said she wanted to show some other guys in Chegutu.
“About the kissing, she just brought her lips to mine and I just remained calm,” he said.
He claimed she told him she had a Mercedes Benz parked outside the stadium and could take him to chegutu if he wanted.
“I have been supporting CAPS United since 2006 and many people think I am on payroll at the club.
“I thank my brother Lloyd Chitembwe who normally visits me at my usual place at Old Fantasyland.
“He knows my background.
“I attend all the matches in Harare, unfortunately, I can’t go outside with the team because I have no money.”
He revealed that he left school in Grade 3.
“I ended up as far as Grade 3, my mother was blind and could only manage to fend for our food.
“I was born in Karoi and, in 2001, my mother died while we were staying on the streets of Harare and I have been staying there.
“At times ndomboenda kuEpworth kunotsvaga kwekugara.
“It is my wish to get someone who can help me not zvekuswera tichipakisa mota mumastreets.
“Ndirikudawo chehupenyu chinobatika chekuti ndinorarama nacho. I survive through my friends and other people who have love, very few people can assist you these days.
“If I get something to do and get a place to stay pari decent, ndichidyawo nekuzviwachira, zvinozouya kumberi ndiMwari.”
