It is premature but Zimbabwean triallist Silver Chawe has, in barely two days, swept Nyasa Big Bullets interim Coach, Elia Kananji, off his feet.<\/p>\n
Boasting a heavily built upper body like Bullets\u2019 right-winger Fischer Kondowe, the left-winger Chawe has landed in the People\u2019s Team camp via South Africa.<\/p>\n
He started the trials at Blantyre Sports Club on Monday on recommendation of Bullets fans in South Africa, where he was attending trials with clubs such as Jomo Cosmos.<\/p>\n
\u201cI was undergoing trials at Cosmos and I met Bullets supporters who advised me to come and play for Bullets. Initially, I was in touch with Silver Strikers Coach, Lovemore Fazili, but the Bullets supporters pressured me to come and play for the team.<\/p>\n
\u201cThey bought me an air ticket and this is my second day at Bullets. I will see if I can sign a contract with them. Before going to South Africa, I was playing for Tsholotsholo FC back home in Zimbabwe,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n
Chawe can sign for Bullets outright if he is a free agent. During training yesterday, he looked quick on the turn and clever off the ball, but the class of a player is determined by consistency.<\/p>\n
Kananji, speaking before Tuesday morning\u2019s training session, said he would be tempted to ask management to sign Chawe.<\/p>\n
\u201cI played football and, with just a simple touch of the ball, I am able to know attributes of a good player. When I saw him touch the ball, it was like our prayers had been answered because, with Dalitso Sailesi gone [to Lusaka Dynamos], we are short of numbers on the left wing,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n
\u201cIt is very true that clubs in South Africa pay better and quality players sign for clubs in that country, but we understand that he wants to use Bullets as a springboard for bigger things in his career.\u201d<\/p>\n
Fazili Tuesday said it was Chawe who was in touch with him, hoping to sign for the TNM Super League leaders.<\/p>\n
\u201cThere is no issue really. It is not like Silver were interested in him, but he got my contacts and we have been texting. He wanted to join us but I told him that, being a foreigner, it was not easy as the season is in progress,\u201d Fazili said.<\/p>\n
Zimbabwean sports journalist Enock Muchinjo Tuesday said Tsholotsholo are a top league side based in Matabeleland, but he was not aware of the winger\u2019s profile.<\/p>\n
Many Zimbabwean players are spread in countries such as Botswana, Namibia, Mozambique and Tanzania. In contrast, the Super League, due to low perks, has three foreigners.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
