As a Railstars FC coach leading the team to promotion from Division 1 to the Premiership being a Level 2 course intsructor for coaches was a tough concortion to take but enjoyable at the same time. This was one large class and one of the most powerful.
This class of coaches had Rahman Gumpo, a former national team player and Bosso coach who won local championships during the late 1990 and early 2000 at will and later went on to do so in Malawi and lately Botswana. There was a former Eagles, Hunyani and Highlanders dribbler, Clement Balanda, a reputable coach and administrator, Siphatho Ncube who coaches Highlanders Royals as well as being elected a Bosso committee member a few years back.
Former Highlanders Chairmen and the most successful manager Ernest Maphepha Sibanda, was also a member of that great class. Maphepha went on to be national team manager, as was former Sports and Recreation Council Southern Region boss, Brian Moyo. Moyo is currently in the Southern Region ZIFA board and was involved in national cricket.
It was incredible working with Bekezela Maduma-Fuzwayo, Emmett Ndlovu, a former Bosso medic and national team doctor with great talent. Ndlovu also became Team Manager of Bantu Rovers. Philani Mabhena, Kona Tshabangu and Mebelo Mbewe were some of the great coaches and respected people who were part the big group of talented people.
Any faces you can recognise in the picture?
