Zimbabwean soccer player Tino Kadewere turned the Warriors’ training session into chaos on Monday when he confronted blogger Yvonne Mangunda at Orlando Stadium in Johannesburg. The striker, known for his skills on the pitch, lost his cool and poked Mangunda in the chest, threatening to assault her in front of stunned teammates and officials.

The drama unfolded during Michael Nees’ final preparations for Tuesday’s World Cup qualifier against Rwanda. Kadewere stormed across the pitch, jabbing Mangunda on the chest before ZIFA officials intervened to restrain him. The blogger, visibly shaken, pleaded with Kadewere to explain his anger, but he lashed out, warning her not to remain at the stadium after training and hurling insults.

Kadewere accused Mangunda of writing negatively about his recent form, questioning why he was still part of the national team. This confrontation comes on the heels of Kadewere’s struggles with injuries, which have kept him sidelined for several matches. In fact, he was recently ruled out of the AFCON qualifiers against Namibia due to a calf injury .

The Warriors striker has been battling injuries, including a muscle injury that had him starting individual training at Real Mallorca to aid his recovery. His absence from the team has sparked mixed reactions from fans, with some questioning his commitment to the team .

Yvonne Mangunda is a Zimbabwean television and radio personality who has worked as a Marketing and Communications Manager at Dynamos Football Club. She has also appeared on ZTV’s soap opera, Studio 263, and won the Imagine Africa reality show .

This shocking incident has raised concerns about Kadewere’s temperament and its potential impact on the team’s performance. As the Warriors prepare for their World Cup qualifier, the focus should be on the game, not off-field dramas. Will Kadewere’s outburst affect his future with the team?
