watch this season.
“Evans has got great potential and physical strength, although there’s some work to be done. I am happy with him,” said Hunt.
Chief supporter, Rhisimati Phikelele, said Gwekwerere was a naturally gifted striker who has the pace, energy, stamina and chilly accuracy when shooting.
“I think the coach, Hunt, has gone for the gold. Evans is still young with great pontial of turning around the club’s fortunes. Already the former Dynamos striker had scored in his debut premiership encounter though played in the Super 8 Tournament. Each time he is in possession of the ball, you could tell that here is a player worthy mentioning his name,” said Phikelele.
South African Castle Lager premiership top goalscorer and Senegalese marksman, Mame Niang, admitted that Gwekwerere was a good striker. He spoke volumes about his striking partner, Niang ahead of the 2006-2007 premiership season: “Our combination with Niang has been good so far both at training and in the games. I think it will get better with hard work and more time.”
Gwekwerere replaced another Zimbabwean ace striker, Edzayi Kasinauyo, who joined FC-AK at the Mvela Golden Division One Soccer League.
Meanwhile former Warriors and Dynamos defence stalwart, Kaitano “Munhumutema” Tembo has quit South African premiership giants SuperSport United to join Mvela Golden League soccer outfit Bay United.
Tembo’s departure created room for another Warriors’ hard tackling defender James “Vandamme” Matola, who signed for SuperSport United last week and had since featured in Saturday’s encounter against Orlando Pirates.
SuperSport United won the match 6-5 on penalties. But is the departure of Tembo that made headlines as he played for SuperSport United as player and assistant coach for six years.
Tembo’s departure at SuperSport United comes at a time another high profile Warrior midfielder and Orlando Pirates attacking midfielder, Edelbert Dinha had quit the Johannesburg soccer giants to join FC-AK, a club that has signed several Zimbabwean star players.
The club made Dinha famous in the mid 1990s when he first moved to South Africa.
The diminutive and industrious midfielder has joined fellow countrymen at FC-AK, who among them comprise Warriors left back and Wits University FC Captain Charles Yohanne, Edzai Kasinauyo (formerly Moroka Swallows) and Elasto Lungu (now Elasto Kapoweza) in their colours. – CAJ News
