Bright was Gabonamong’s coach at Mogoditshane Fighters, Zebras and South Africa’s Engen Santos.
Gino said Bright was like a father figure to him who used to call him ‘Kamakazi’.
“I would ask him what that meant, then he said it was a powerful weapon used in the army,” Gabonamong recalled.
He said Bright used to pick him up while Gabonamong was still a junior secondary school student in Gaborone.
“If it was not him, he would send a Land Rover from BDF to come and fetch me from school. Then after training, he would send me to Spar to buy a loaf of bread and a bottle of two-litre Coke. He would not use a knife to cut the bread, but just his hands. Then he will say ‘look at that zombie he is not a good player’.
He used to call people zombies,” Gino said with a chuckle as he recalled the good times he spent under Bright.
“Each time he took long in training, I would remind him, remember we have to go and buy bread at Spar, as there was hot fresh bread every day. He would laugh and say, ‘ok, son, I will make sure we finish on time’,” he reminisces.
