Let
us first give many thanks to Benjani Mwariwaru's colourful gift of
football from his days as a deadly top-scorer in South Africa before
he migrated to ply his trade at Auxere in France before leaving for England.
His successful testimonial match marking the end of his international
career was well attended and quite a huge event.
Notable
participants included Lucas Radebe, Yakubu, Kanu, Al Haji Diouf,
Peter Ndlovu, Fadinga, Chimbonda, and Painstil among others. In that match, Warriors prevailed 7-4 and his 7 year-old son scoring twice after replacing his father.
Besides
raising money for his foundation, the significance of the event was
more symbolic as a motivation of the young and upcoming footballers.
All
football activities grounded to a halt to honour a great talent, one
of the most successful players from Southern Africa who scored on his
Manchester derby debut after moving from Portsmouth.
He
will remain a legend especially at Pompey as he was much loved and he
worked for that acknowledgement. All the best to him and his
endeavours.
