Kaizer Chiefs legend Knowledge Musona receives R4,3 million as 'small token of appreciation' after helping ex-Orlando Pirates & Mamelodi Sundowns stars' Scottland clinch league title

Mabviravira have made history in Zimbabwe in their maiden season in the top flight, becoming the first team in 41 years to achieve such a feat. The club enjoyed an impressive campaign, winning 17 games, drawing 10, and losing just five across 32 matches. Their remarkable performance earned them a reward of millions of rands from businessman Wicknell Chivhayo.

    From PSL glory to Zimbabwe

    Under the guidance of Tonderai Ndiraya, and with the experience of players such as former Amakhosi stars Knowledge Musona and Khama Billiat, ex-Orlando Pirates forward Terrence Dzvukamanja, former Chippa United centre-back Kevin Moyo, and Walter Musona, formerly of Sekhukhune United, Scottland gained a crucial boost. Their combined experience proved invaluable as they have competed in one of Africa’s most competitive leagues.  

    ‘The Smiling Assassin’ and ’Gaucho’ are no strangers to being part of historic moments. Musona enjoyed a career that reached impressive heights abroad, while Billiat was part of some of Mamelodi Sundowns’ unforgettable moments, including helping the club win the CAF Champions League in 2016.

    Dzvukamanja also had a taste of stardom when he scored the winning goal for the Buccaneers to secure the Nedbank Cup in 2023.

     “In recognition of this massive, history‑breaking achievement, and for your exemplary leadership and passion for the game of football, I invite the team captain and the team manager to come and see me personally on Saturday to collect USD250,000 as a small token of my appreciation and to share it with the entire team, the coach and the technical staff. This is a well‑deserved victory and early Christmas gift to you,” Chivayo said.
