Chidzambga mentioned the likes of George Shaya, Daniel Chikanda, Ernest Kamba, William Sibanda, Ebson Sugar Muguyo and Majita Mpofu who played for the national team in the then Rhodesia. Chidzambga captained the national team soon after independence until his injury in 1983 at the age of 31. The post-Independence team comprised players such as Shaky Tauro, Stix Mtizwa, David Mandigora, Oliver Kateya, Ephet Lungu, David Muchineripi, Wonder Phiri, Misheck Chidzambwa, Bruce Grobbelaar and Max Tshuma. Mhofu, as Chidzambga is known in football circles, announced his retirement from the game as a full-time coach last month. *More: Daily News* _If you found this article useful_ *Please support Pindula by forwarding to friends and groups*
