You are a very talented footballer. Avoid getting into toxic politics through association with bogus prophets. You are representing your country very well and do so in that field of your competence young man.

On Wednesday Angel revealed that he had a meeting with Nakamba at his residence. He posted on social media:

At my residence, The Angel Manor, here in [the UK] with Marvelous Nakamba @nakamba_marvelous discussing opportunities in our beloved country, Zimbabwe. Exceptional meeting we had and what I can say about Nakamba is “What a humble and knowledgeable Zimbabwean he is”.

He is raising our flag up high. I am also encouraged to note that there are a lot of well-meaning Zimbabweans in the diaspora with a strong desire to see Zim rise to the level of upper-middle-income economy status by 2030.
