Mamelodi Sundowns Legend Peter Ndlovu Honoured with R2.6 Million BMW by Wicknell Chivayo
Celebrating a Football Icon
Chivayo described Peter Ndlovu as a legendary figure whose career exemplifies the power of talent and hard work. He highlighted Ndlovu’s historic achievements, including becoming the first African to play in the English Premier League (EPL) in 1992.
“THE GREATEST OF ALL TIME…Zimbabwe’s football history is INCOMPLETE without mentioning one player who pushed boundaries and showed the world that when talent meets hard work, MAGIC happens. From the dusty streets of MAKOKOBA in Bulawayo, a young, super-talented footballer dreamed of becoming the PRIDE of Zimbabwe’s football. His consistent BRILLIANCE at Highlanders Football Club dazzled fans as much as we ALL loved him as captain of the NATIONAL team, the Warriors. He made history as the first AFRICAN to play in the English Premier League in 1992, BREAKING records and elevating our nation’s presence on the global stage.” he said.
Admiration for Humility and Excellence
The businessman also commended Ndlovu for remaining humble despite his global success and revealed how Ndlovu’s on-field heroics inspired him as a child.
“I have always admired his exceptional ability to remain HUMBLE, professional and unassuming, even with such IMMENSE talent and being sought after by numerous PREMIER LEAGUE clubs. His incredible skill and sportsmanship made us PROUD to be called Zimbabweans. Growing up, he was my soccer HERO and I aspired to play like him. However, my BILLIONAIRE BODY had other plans for me 😂😂😂😂😂 While I may not have graced the soccer pitch to PLAY, I am FORTUNATE to have the means to appreciate those who have excelled in PLAYING the beautiful game of FOOTBALL !!!!!,” he joked.
