I see demons around Mukamba

of months now and only need a few weeks of training to get back to top form,” he told the dozens that made his granny’s Highfield home look like a matchbox.

Mukamba is not ready to admit the mess he is in.

He pretends not to smell the filthy sheet — yes sheet — that he has around his body. Mukamba also does not act like he is 25 — and counting.

Before the Dynamos fans left, Chris “Romario” Musekiwa led us in prayer and true to form it was dramatic.Just as dramatic as the prayer he unleashed when Philip Chiyangwa won the Zifa elections on December 5, 2015.

Musekiwa made declarations and instructed evil spirits that are pushing Mukamba into mischief to leave the boy alone.

The man, who likes to call himself a cheerleader and not a fan, later described the prayer session as “fire, fire” in a Facebook post.

“Before our departure we had fire, fire prayers with Denver and family for God’s divine assistance and guidance is readily available in all life situations. Denver Mukamba could not hide his joy and hinted to us that an apology to his coach was underway . . .

“He promised to prove everyone wrong if given another chance by the Dynamos technical team,” posted Musekiwa.

Amid the drama and the tears at Gogo Kawinga’s house, Sir wondered. Wondered about the whereabouts of Denver’s father, wondered if this is not the same case which saw Simba Sithole becoming Simba Nhivi.

After some pondering, Yours Truly came to the conclusion that the troubled midfielder needs plenty of “fire, fire” prayers.

Mukamba needs to make peace with those in his lineage, the majority of whom feel that they have benefited nothing from his football pickings.

Yes, we can say the Footballers’ Union of Zimbabwe should come to his rescue; yes, we can argue that Dynamos must get him into a rehabilitation centre; and, yes, we can blame some bad company that Denver has kept.

But ultimately we need to appreciate that the boy is not a stable character, he is troubled even when he is sober and to me that is a sign that something is not right in the spiritual realm.

Mukamba also needs someone to look up to, a hero he can listen to.

Peter Ndlovu has done a great job of trying to keep Khama Billiat on the straight and narrow across the Limpopo.

Blessing Moyo could have been lost had Edward Sadomba and his wife not called the defender for a heart-to-heart talk a couple of years ago.

During their time in South Africa Mukamba and Partson Jaure where inseparable and got up to serious mischief, but when they came back home the latter put on his thinking camp.

Jaure chose the tranquillity of Ngezi Platinum to re-launch his career while Mukamba – emotionally – settled for a return to Dynamos, a return to being the pin-up boy who could sleep with any Glamour Queen.

Today Jaure is making good cheese in Zambia while Mukamba is broke and sleeping on a sofa – if that old piece of furniture can generously be called such.

Good people of Zimbabwe, let’s pray for Mukamba.

Iwe neni tine basa, you and me — including Prophets Makandiwa and Magaya who have successfully prayed for the deliverance of many — have work to do.

And, oh by the way, good luck to Norman Mapeza and the Pure Platinum Play family.
