Baloyi warned opposing defenders about the danger posed by the Zimbabwean PSLs 2009 Golden Boot Award winner. “I expect some great football from the Zimbabwean guys, especially the striker (Mushekwi). After Kaizer Chiefs lost him there were some negative reports that came out saying he is a basketball player, but you will see a different player. He is still young and there is still room for improvement in his game, but with what he’s got now he is going to be one of the best strikers in the League. I believe we have signed some of the most talented players from Zimbabwe, said the respected goal minder.
When the Zimbabwean got a chance to don the Sundowns colours in their first 2010/11 ABSA Premiership match, albeit for 33 minutes, he did not let his new team mate down, but used his lethal boot to make an even greater statement to announce his arrival in South Africa, scoring a brace that powered the Pretoria-based Sundowns to a 2-0 win over Moroka Swallows Saturday night. Thrown into the fray by Coach Antonio Lopez Habas in place of Franklin Cale, Mushekwi drove first blood in the 74th, majestically rising to direct home a powerful header from a Mathew Pattison corner. He had only been on the field for seven minutes.
The Zimbabwean catastrophe struck again 12 minutes later, devastating the Dube Birds with a thunderous strike from a tight angle in the 86th minute, which, like the header, gave Aubrey Mathbe no chance, after yet another assist from Pattison. With that brace, the arrival of Mushekwi in the shores South Africa was duly announced.
