FRANCISTOWN: Former ECCO City Greens goalkeeper, Chamonorwa Madamombe has hailed renowned local coach, Oupa Kowa for his transition from being a footballer to a fully-fledged nurse.

Madamombe recently completed his three year Diploma at Harare Central Hospital and is currently awaiting graduation. He returned to Zimbabwe to enrol for a nursing Diploma in 2018, two years after suffering a terrible knee injury while on the books of TAFIC. That was during the latter stages of his career as a footballer. The 37-year old had a fruitful 15-year football career in Botswana.

He also turned out for Boteti Young Fighters during his stay in Botswana but it was at the now defunct ECCO where he enjoyed his football career and gained the respect of many local supporters. He helped ECCO reach the Mascom Top 8 final in 2012 where they lost to Township Rollers. He has also been to the Coca-Cola Cup semi-finals twice with Boteti. “As a young footballer coming from the junior to professional ranks I never thought of such thing as injuries until I got injured on my knee in my early thirties.
