For a father of 13 children and grandfather of 25, his pace and body-swerves have been unbelievable. He has single-handedly helped Zathu Rangers secure a second slot in the competition’s nine-team Group A.

“I have noticed with great concern the recent trend whereby certain people call for the retirement of some Flames players who are as young as 35 saying they have grown old. I would like to prove that age is not a limit in soccer as long as one keeps himself or herself fit,” he said.

Then, the side used to participate in the Press Cup and the Blantyre and Districts Football League.
