WARRIORS cheerleader Chris “Romario” Musekiwa won a trophy after being the Super Fan of the Match in the Zimbabwe’s last Nations Cup group game against Tunisia.

The Warriors lost the match 2-4 and crashed out of the tournament.

But for Musekiwa, there was some consolation from one of the tournament sponsors, Orange. NetOne sponsored Musekiwa’s travel to Gabon and stay in that country together with his fellow cheerleader Alvin “Aluvha” Zhakata.

A number of other supporters also won tickets through the NetOne promotions.

“I won a trophy, and I have been given a VIP invitation to watch the final seated with CAF leadership alongside other Super Fans voted from other matches,” said Musekiwa.

“I will also be offered two nights hotel accommodation.

It was God’s favour indeed. At least as a country we got a consolation prize, we are not coming home empty handed.

“We never gave up even when chips were down. I am forever grateful to my sponsors NetOne, who flew us to Gabon where my efforts as a cheerleader were rewarded at the grand stage.

“I am dedicating the award to all Zimbabweans. We won this consolation prize together. At least we managed to make our presence felt in the terraces by proudly raising our flag high.”
