United States-based striker, Ntokozo Tshuma, is positive of adding value to the Zimbabwe under 23 soccer team which locks horns with South Africa this weekend.
Born in Bulawayo 20 years ago, Tshuma says he is optimistic of providing a cutting edge to a Young Warriors strike force that found it difficult to penetrate South Africa's defence in the All-Africa Games first leg played at Senaba Stadium a fortnight ago.

Tshuma, who played for Highlanders Juniors before moving to the States, says he has improved significantly and is ready to contribute to Zimbabwe's bid of overturning a 2-nil deficit incurred against Amagluglug a fortnight ago.
The 20 year-old striker has been receiving rave reviews in the US where he helped Episcopal High School to a third straight undefeated season by scoring 19 goals and providing 8 assists.
Apart from playing college football, Tshuma also plays club soccer with Bethasada Soccer club which is based in Montgomery County.
If Tshuma impresses the Young Warriors technical department and makes an appearance on Sunday, it will be the second time he will be wearing national colours after representing the country in the under 17 age group in 2008.
