Coming from the violent backdrop of the Zimbabwean civil war, he struggled to comprehend the significance of football. However, he eventually recognized the joy and fulfillment he found in his career, realizing the contrast between his past experiences and his current professional life. He learned to appreciate the game, leading him to embrace each day with happiness and gratitude for being alive and doing what he loves.
Football is not that important. Then I realized: hang on here, I'm getting paid for doing something I love. Just enjoy it, man.
