Ex-Kaizer Chiefs striker Knowledge Musona says he wants to turn back the hands of time and remind South Africa of his brilliance when Bafana Bafana take on Zimbabwe in a 2026 FIFA World Cup qualifier on Friday.
The Warriors are set to play hosts to Bafana in a 2026 FIFA World Cup Group C qualifier on Friday, 10 October at the Moses Mabhida Stadium. The match is slated for 18:00 [CAT].
Zimbabwe anchors the group, and Bafana seem to be the natural favourites to walk away with the ticket to the global tournament. After losing three points following the Teboho Mokoena saga, Bafana dropped to second place on the table, with 14 points.
Benin lead the group with the same number of points. However, as The Warriors prepare to meet on Friday, Musona is in a bullish mood.

With his wealth of experience and skill, Musona wants to turn the hands of time and ignite Moses Mabhidha stadium in Durban.
“I played here in South Africa at Kaizer Chiefs, and I did very well. They know me and I want to do what they know me for [scoring]. My target is to do very well, when we play against South Africa. We want to make our nation happy,” Musona said.
Apart from Chiefs, the 35-year-old also played for German outfit Hoffenheim, and Anderlecht in Belgium.
Most recently, he was in Saudi Arabia before joining Zimbabwe’s Scottland FC. He is currently sharing the same dressing room with another former Chiefs star, Khama Billiat. In Saudi Arabia he played for Al-Tai, Al-Riyadh, and Al-Okhdood.
For Zimbabwe, Musona has 26 goals in 52 appearances. He is one of Michael Nees’ key players heading into this match and the upcoming 2025 Africa Cup of Nations.
Musona won one Telkom Knockout Cup with Kaizer Chiefs and was named the 2010/11 PSL Top Goal-scorer with 15 goals.
In addition, he made an impressive 40 goals and 13 assists in 88 appearances for Amakhosi. His brilliance earned him a place among the club’s best signings in history.
