Talent Mandaza has taken over as Mighty Warriors captain after she was handed the armband yesterday ahead of the Africa Women Cup of Nations finals which begin on November 19 in Cameroon.The midfielder replaces Felistas “Figo” Muzongondi who had been captain since 2013 when her predecessor, goalkeeper Onai Chingawo, quit football following her marriage to footballer Russell Madamombe.
Chingawo has since been co-opted into the Mighty Warriors technical team as the kit assistant. Black Rhinos defensive midfielder Mandaza will be deputised by fellow midfielder Emmaculate Msipa and defender Ruvimbo Mutyavaviri in the new set up.
