A very big congratulations to Charles Manyuchi for winning the much-coveted WBC welterweight silver championship fight in Russia.
The whole nation celebrates with Manyuchi not only for raising the country’a flag high, but also for winning this coveted prize.
Manyuchi represents the voices of many-a-talent in our rural communities who have not been integrated into our sports systems and that’s why there is need for transformation of the reach of sport as a sector.
When I got the news from him yesterday, that he had won, I could not contain a tear dropping out of my eye being touched by his achievement, knowing too well how this journey was almost derailed by mischievous elements.
I see Manyuchi landing gold in the not too distant future. Go on son of the soil and raise Zimbabwe s flag higher.
Honourable Makhosini Hlongwane is the Minister of Sport and Recreation
