David Mkandawire who used to be one of Amazulu’s star players, is reportedly roaming the streets of Johannesburg, South Africa and has probably become a destitute and mentally challenged.

The defender who last turned out for India’s Mohammed FC and Maritzburg United in 2006/7 season was spotted by one of his followers, Lordmore Karanda.

Karanda, who is also the founder of Zimbabwe Football Development Academy-Centre of Football Excellence, was quick to take to Facebook his saddest finding on the former Amazulu’shardman.

“David Mkandawire (ex-Amazulu) is roaming the streets of Jozi now a destitute and believed to be suffering from a mental disorder…” read part of the post.



Karanda went on to make a plea to fellow football legends and soccer players saying they should help out.

“To those in South Africa from Peter Ndlovu, Alex Maseko ‘Cool Ruler Alexanderl’, Butler Masango, Rungamai Bhebhe, Benjani Mwaruwaru,

Tendai Ndoro, Willard Katsande and Lesley Wadzanai Katsande to kindly assist our ex footballer with shelter and treatment as this is a shame to #‎ThisFootballFlag‬#,” he wrote.

The post has since gone viral on social media networks with some concerned fans suggesting that the former player has to be taken to Prophet Magaya or Bushiri.

Thuso Tee: “Delma Lupepe must be asked to help too, can someone in SDA Byo. ..try to get in touch with the former Amazulu bosses who are businessmen to help,”

Nhamo Sithole: “Lordmore Karanda, the only advise i can give to u since u have seen him is please take him to Pretoria at Shepard Bushiri’s church….then u will see wonders

Memory Moloi:“Ash I know this guy he normally spend much time at OR Tambo international airport. I (saw) him last night,”

Nhlanhla Washoma Mncube: “Sad, help is definitely needed but above all his family must be made aware of this situation so they can take him home. Khumbula Ekhaya has shown that in most cases the family might not even be aware of this.”
