Can playing in Spain help Zimbabwe’s Martin Mapisa become a top African keeper? Martin Mapisa is 22-years old and a goalkeeper. Born in Harare, he has recently made his full national team debut for Zimbabwe in an African Cup of Nations qualifier against Zambia. His ambitions though gone beyond that, and he hopes to become one of the top players in the world, let alone Africa in his position. Mapisa, like many layers who have gone on to grace the best leagues in Europe, chose to start his senior carer in Spain beginning with club CD Almuñecar, who is currently in the seventh tier of Spanish football.
