Former Kaizer Chiefs superstar Knowledge Musona is famous for his big smile.
On Monday, that famous grin was all over social media after a R4,3 million cash gift from one of Zimbabwe’s richest men for winning the Zimbabwe Castle Premier Soccer League.
KNOWLEDGE MUSONA AND SCOTTLAND FC HAVE A BLESSER
Musona was among the recipients of a US$250,000 (around R4,3 million) cash token from businessman and Intratrek Zimbabwe founder Wicknell Chivhayo.
Chivhayo invited Musona and Scottland FC officials to personally hand over the reward, calling it “a small token of my appreciation” for their incredible title success.
Scottland’s triumph was historic, they became only the second team since Black Rhinos in 1984 to win the Zimbabwe Premier Soccer League in their debut season.

The 25-year-old joined Scottland in July after leaving Saudi Pro League side Al-Okhdood, where he bagged five goals and five assists in 30 matches. In his first season back home, the Smiling Assassin netted three goals to help power Scottland’s fairytale championship run.
KAIZER CHIEFS LEGACY
The Kaizer Chiefs legend spent two and a half seasons in Mzansi, where he made 88 appearances, scoring 40 goals and providing 13 assists.
Known as “The Smiling Assassin,” Musona became a household name at Naturena for his lethal finishing, composure, and knack for scoring when it mattered most.
