ZIMBABWE Warriors midfielder, Kudakwashe Mahachi is reportedly on the verge of signing for South Africa DStv Premiership side Maritzburg United as he seeks a return to playing football.

Mahachi was in May 2022 suspended by SuperSport United when allegations came up that he had harmed his son, charges he has since been cleared of in court. SuperSport chose not to renew the midfielder’s contract when it expired on 30 June. 

Now that he has fought off and won the legal battles which he faced for seven months, Mahachi is eager for a return to action. He watched from the terraces as Maritzburg United fell 2-1 in a league encounter at home to TS Galaxy on Friday. Maritzburg United are bottom of the log with 11 points, picked up from two wins and five draws while they have lost seven matches.

A move to the Team of Choice is close to being secured for the nimble-footed player. Should he seal a deal with the KwaZulu-Natal based side, it will be Mahachi’s fifth club across the Limpopo River since he left Zimbabwe in 2014 to join Mamelodi Sundowns. After Sundowns, the Highlanders junior product also played for Golden Arrows, Orlando Pirates and SuperSport United. 

 

Walter Musona

Locally, Mahachi played for Bantu Rovers, Chicken Inn before he had a brief stint with Highlanders prior to his move to Sundowns. The 29-year-old Mahachi was one of the scorers for the Warriors together with retired former captain Walter Musona at the Africa Cup of Nations in Cameroon a year ago when Zimbabwe defeated Guinea 2-1 in their last match of the tournament to end the tournament on a high note after losses to Senegal and Malawi. Musona and Mahachi are the only Zimbabwean players to score at two different Afcon finals. — Follow on Twitter @Mdawini_29
