As a football fan, the first thing that crossed his mind was to seek help from Zimbabwean players based in the Rainbow Nation, whom he contacted on Instagram since all his colleagues at the restaurant faced the same predicament.<\/p>\n
Of all the players he messaged, only Stellenbosch midfielder Ovidy Karuru responded.<\/p>\n
\u201cI am a chef at a restaurant so due to Covid-19, we closed the restaurant the second week of March,\u201d recalled Bhunu.<\/p>\n
\u201cAs you know we were no expecting this crisis l didn\u2019t have any savings in my account, the rent was wanted, equaly so, food.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cI had no one to ask because everyone I know was in the same situation so one day l was on Instagram and l decided to inbox Zimbabwean players to seek help but only Ovidy Karuru responded,\u201d explained Bhunu.<\/p>\n
Bhunu was not alone in his situation, he stays with his young brother, which made the situation even worse but the Warriors star came to the rescue.<\/p>\n
\u201dHe asked for my account details and sent money which was enough to buy grocieries for two months and im very grateful for his generosity,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n
\u201cTo be honest l can\u2019t put it into words. lm just speechless, he showed me some love that l can\u2019t explain,\u201d added Bhunu.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
