Sadomba on cloud nine, as son shines at COSAFA

Online Reporter

FORMER Warriors player, Edward Sadomba, is on cloud nine after his son El Shaddai scored a hat trick as Zimbabwe Under-17 walloped Eswatini 5-0 in a COSAFA Cup Group B game in Johannesburg, South Africa on Thursday.

Described as “technically proficient” in a report on the COSAFA website, Zimbabwe got the other goals from Tadiwa Chakuchichi and Man of the Match Valentine Macheka.

“Firstly, I give glory to God and I feel so great that my son is doing well,” said Sadomba, a former Dynamos star.

Sadomba was a lethal striker at DeMbare and was the top scorer when the Harare giants reached the CAF Champions League semi-final in 2008.

Sadomba also played in Sudan and Libya. His son, El Shaddai, is now following in his father’s footsteps. El Shaddai won the Golden Boot at last year’s CAF Schools Under-15 tournament held in Harare.

He scored six goals for Zimbabwe.

“It is not about El Shaddai alone, credit also goes to his teammates and his coaches as well, they are helping him a lot,” said Sadomba.

The COSAFA championships are being used as qualifiers for the CAF Under-17 Africa Cup of Nations finals.

Zimbabwe are in the same group with rivals Zambia who thrashed Namibia 8-0 on Thursday.
