[/caption]Cosmas Ndlovu holds a few coaching certificates including Level 3 Intermediate Course conducted by respected Germany instructor, Horste Kriete.
Cosmas ran a very successful and influential football club that was in the Second Division, Amakhosi FC. He was very helpful in running the Soccer Coaches Association and junior leagues. This soft-spoken gentleman was very passionate and had an eye for talent.
Amakhosi nurtured a lot of talented players to local Premier League teams. Among the very notable ones were Highlanders Football Club's Edmore (Mamkhwebu) Sibanda who was a favourite clowning goalkeeper that I admired very much.
Tapela 'Cyclone' Ngwenya is another important player who played for Zimbabwe Saints and Bosso among other teams as well as Thabani (Vote) Maposa, Thulani Sikhosana and Thulani Moyo.
Amakhosi gave the nation a very nimble-footed Francis Chandida who rose to prominence at Shabani mIne before being snapped by Dynamos. He went on to play big role for the Warriors., Honour/Owen Gombami, Themba Ndlovu, Tarisai Moyo, Promise Mpala, James Mtukwa, Godfrey (Nkondwane) Kapenya Dazy Kapenya's Brother these are the few I can remember of hand.

ReplyDeleteThanks very much Beke. These people were an industry themselves. It was nice to have committed coaches like these. I guess you can not do things for charity forever.
