Chikwende Makes Perfect Landing At Simba SC
January 18, 2021
ATTACKING midfielder Perfect Chikwende has paid tribute to his former coach at FC Platinum, Norman Mapeza, for the role he played in shaping his career for the big stage.
The 27-year-old bade farewell to the Zvishavane side after signing a two-year deal with Tanzanian football giants Simba SC just before the transfer deadline on Friday night.
Chikwende, who won the league title and the Castle Super Cup with FC Platinum in 2019 before football was frozen out by the coronavirus pandemic, said he felt Zvishavane had become his home.
“FC Platinum had become my home. I’m grateful to the entire family for the support rendered to me for the duration of my stay there. Special mention goes to the head coach, Norman Mapeza.

WARRIORS striker Prince Dube has returned to training at Tanzanian club Azam FC after recovering from a broken ulna bone on his left arm.
The free-scoring 23-year-old Zimbabwe international has been sidelined since suffering the fracture in a league match between his club Azam and Young Africans in the Tanzanian Vodacom Premier League in November last year.
Dube underwent a successful operation on his forearm at the beginning of December in Cape Town, South Africa.
Prior to the injury the former Highlanders forward had begun his career in Tanzania in blistering form, with six goals in as many matches and was voted the Vodacom Tanzania Mainland Premier League Player of the Month for September.
The Belgian tactician, who is still unbeaten since joining Yanga as a replacement for Serbian Zlatko Krmpotic, has revealed his players deserved to win the game in normal time but they relaxed, which allowed Azam to hold them to a draw.
“The intensity of the match was high but the match was very slow,” Kaze said as quoted by
“We did not pressurise our opponents for more goals, instead we got back to defend and this resulted for Azam to gain the confidence to recovery and score an equalizer.”
Kaze has, however, praised his players for their quality from the penalty spot and said they are in the final to win the trophy.
