Sundowns must stop it!

SOUTH AFRICAN moneybags Mamelodi Sundowns have a filthy history of messing up Zimbabwean players. Kudakwashe Mahachi is their latest victim. Mahachi (21) is so hurt at being deregistered in the Absa Premiership by the Brazilians he is seriously thinking of walking away from the game and going back to school to study Technical Graphics.

Now this is a boy who was so good that Monaco found it appealing to invite him over to France and run the ruler on him just over a year ago.
This boy who trained with Falcao and Berbatov during his unsuccessful trial stint in France and was part of the Warriors team that drew with Guinea a fortnight ago wants to quit the game for a “year or two””?

“I am quitting football for a while, maybe for a year or two. I am going back to school to do Technical Graphics, it happens in football and I don’t know how it happens but I have made my decision.

“I told my father of my thoughts and the decision I have made and he understood about the issue,” the Warriors forward was quoted as saying during the week.

Now that is the sound of pain, the sound of disillusionment.
Kudakwashe Mahachi needs help, needs help urgently.

The first port of call is to remind him of how good player he is, a lad whom a lot is expected from.
Studying Technical Graphics is good, no its brilliant, but it’s something he can still do while playing a beautiful game that has the potential to beautify his life for good.

And Mahachi does not need to look far for inspiration because Nyasha Mushekwi is also being screwed by Mamelodi Sundowns, screwed so bad his career is on hold again.

Mushekwi has also been frozen out by the Brazilians after reverting back to being their player following the completion of his loan spell at Swedish outfit Djurgardens IF.

Mushekwi scored 12 goals and won hearts at Djurgardens but the Swedish side’s efforts to sign him were frustrated by Sundowns’ “ridiculous” demands.

One would have thought the Brazilians over priced Mushekwi because they wanted him to come back and provide the firepower they seem to be lacking but no they just wanted him back to add to their already bloated non playing contingent.

There were even reports suggesting that Sundowns wanted to offer Mushekwi and Katlego Mashego and some cash to Bidvest Wits in return for Sibusiso Vilakazi.

They must be smoking palm to even consider such a move.
Mushekwi is worth four Vilakazis.

Thankfully his contract at Chloorkop is coming to an end soon and the Warriors striker can move on to Europe on a free. Simba Nhivi also has nightmares about his stint at Mamelodi Sundowns; Method Mwanjali has his horror tales too.

Esrom Nyandoro served them well for 11 years but he too is being treated like a rag following the expiring of his contract and a verbal job offer that is yet to come in writing months later.
Nyandoro is said to be training on his own.

Now these sad tales should counsel Zimbabwean players the next time Trott Moloto – the Mamelodi Sundowns chief scout – comes through with a transfer proposal.

Caps and the NSS voodoo?
I saw Caps United wearing black and white miss some sitters as they drew 0-0 with Buffaloes at the National Sports Stadium last Sunday.
I heard a section of Makepekepe fans alleging that their team fails to score at the NSS because some bitter former director has cast a spell on them. I didn’t take it seriously until a Caps United player I met at Tawanda Mutyebere’s joint soon after the match said to me: “Haa mudhara hapana mwena, tirikusvika but hatisikuwona gedhi (We are getting there but can’t find the goals.).

Interestingly Caps United scored at the Colliery in midweek, coming out of Hwange with maximum points thanks to Dominic Chungwa’s solitary strike.

Let’s see how it goes when Makepekepe return to the stadium they call home.
