Falling On Hard Times
In 2012, Sarafina reportedly fell on hard times as he was struggling to make ends meet in South Africa and his South African wife had left him. His mother was quoted by The Zimbabwean saying:
He has nothing to show for all the hype that accompanied his fame as a footballer because he is really suffering. Even now, he claims to be a coach in Free State, South Africa, but his living conditions do not reflect that. He is embarrassed to come and visit us and spends time hiding in his brother’s house in Njube. I don’t know when I last saw him
