Former Shabanie Mine FC and Zimbabwe national team midfield star, Francis “Gwejegweje” Chandida, has donated a full soccer kit to his former club, Shabanie Mine FC. The gesture was welcomed by the club as a vital contribution to its ongoing efforts to maintain competitive standards.
Chandida, who has ventured into the logistics business since retiring from football, highlighted the importance of giving back to clubs that helped shape the careers of former players. He encouraged other ex-players to follow suit, noting that while football standards may decline over time, the passion for the game remains constant.
“We are grateful for this donation, and we hope it inspires others to support the club,” Shabanie Mine FC said in a statement on X (formerly Twitter).
The contribution from Chandida comes at a crucial time for Shabanie Mine FC, which has faced financial challenges in recent years. The club expressed its appreciation for the former player’s support, viewing it as an example of how football veterans can help sustain the legacy of their former teams.
