Sharuko on Saturday MY social media platforms are an explosive interactive arena, but I have to agree they have never exploded, as far as I can remember, as much as they have been raging this week in the wake of that farcical decision to try and nullify Christian Epoupa Ntouba’s red card. A decision that […]

Sharuko on Saturday WE call him the Smiling Assassin and Knowledge Musona, the ultimate sniper whose infectious smile usually cheers the spirits of our national game and whose goals always script success stories for our Warriors, scored twice in the Belgian Cup on Wednesday night.

Sharuko on Saturday FOR Nicholas Munyonga, a long-term Warriors doctor who, is also a sports medicine expert and the regional leader of the World Anti-Doping Agency, the warning signs flashed four years ago in Egypt during a World Cup tour of duty with the senior national team.

HIS last dance with the domestic Premiership was covered in a blaze of glory, celebrating the last of the three domestic league titles he won as part of a special group of footballers whose immortality would be sealed — without him in their ranks — just months after his departure. Three league championships in four years […]

ONE of the refreshing dominant themes from the messages posted by the Warriors, who were in South Africa for the COSAFA Cup, has been their praise for God for having been there with them when it mattered, most during an adventure where heaven and hell collided.
