Jane Mlambo| Legendary former Zimbabwe and Liverpool goalkeeper Bruce “Jungleman” Grobbelaar has set his sights on a political career as he looks to open a new chapter in his life after stepping down from his role with Canadian football side Ottawa Fury early this year.

Grobbelaar, who returned to Zimbabwe in January this year after spending 11 years in exile, revealed his plans to meet with President Emmerson Mnangagwa and newly-appointed Arts, Sports and Recreation minister Kirsty Coventry in November.

“I’m going back to Zimbabwe for a function on November 10 and while I’m there, I’ll be sitting down with the Sports minister, Kirsty Coventry [the former Olympic swimmer],” he said.

“Then, I will hopefully see the President, Emmerson Mnangagwa. I need to have a word with him and I’d like to get into the political side. We’ll see what happens with that.”
