Moses Chunga speaks at the funeral of Willard Khumalo at MacDonald Hall in Bulawayo
Former Warriors' legend Moses Chunga has said the late Bosso and Warriors' midfielder Willard Mashinkila Khumalo died a bitter man.
Chunga said this during his tribute to the just departed 'midfield kingpin' at McDonald Hall on Thursday.
Chunga said Khumalo felt that "some of the people and institutions he thought were close to him were treating him like someone with leprosy; someone whom they could not be seen close to."
Apparently, Mawii told Chunga that "his heart was bleeding" because people that he lived with abandoned him when he needed them most.
Mawii's former manager Omega Sibanda said it was sad that people were celebrating Khumalo's life when he was dead yet they abandoned him during his lifetime.
"These are some of the players who used to fill up stadiums during their playing days, but where is their pension now?," Sibanda was quoted by The Chronicle.
