Former SuperSport United winger Kudakwashe Mahachi says he has not quit football and believes he can still resurrect his career when his legal woes come to an end.
Mahachi is being accused of scalding his four-year-old son with boiling water while he was in his custody in South Africa.
In an interview with B Metro, the former Warriors winger insisted on his innocence saying God will intervene on his behalf. He said:
It has been a challenging time for me. However, I pray and hope the courts will do justice on the matter.
It has been six trying months for me but I still believe my God will do me well.
I have been on the sidelines but I still believe my legs can still carry me.
I’m not hanging up my boots soon. It takes courage but I admit things have never been the same for me.
Mahachi is currently on trial for child abuse and the attempted murder of his four-year-old son.
He is accused of scalding his four-year-old son with boiling water leading to third-degree burns and of assaulting him with an iron bar on his head and with a phone charger cable all over his body.
His grandmother and his ex-wife recently testified against him in court.
Mahachi is not attached to any club after SuperSport United suspended him and decided not to renew his contract following the allegations.
