DENVER Mukamba has a feeling this could be his last chance with the national team and the rejuvenated midfielder wants to maximise on the latest opportunity he has been given by Warriors gaffer Zdravko “Loga” Logarusic.

The gifted player, who has been transformed at Ngezi Platinum Stars, was not in the initial squad for the upcoming African Nations Championships (CHAN) finals, but he immediately won Loga’s heart when the Warriors played the Mhondoro side in a practice match on Thursday.

Mukamba, who turns 28 on December 22, was at his usual menacing best when the Warriors drew 1-1 against Yadah in another practice match at the National Sports B Arena yesterday.

Yadah Stars’ new find Fortune Binzi (22), who has joined the club from Mutare City, scored a stunning goal before Wellington Taderera equalised for the Warriors.

However, the spotlight was once again on Mukamba, who lit up the practice match with his trademark deft touches and movement.

The Warriors looked threatening each time Mukamba was in possession and the 2012 Soccer Star of the Year was also deadly from set-pieces.

“It feels good to be back with the Warriors again,” Mukamba told The Sunday Mail Sport.

Mukamba’s last dance with the national team was back in 2013 when Klaus Dieter Pagels made him Warriors skipper.

That was before the Highfield-born star lost the plot.

Allegations of alcohol and drug abuse, and womanising were levelled against Mukamba, who also developed a knack of skipping training during his second stint with Dynamos, after his brief stay in South Africa. That led to a sensational fallout with then Dynamos coach Lloyd Mutasa.-The Sunday Mail
