DYNAMOS midfielder, Donald Mudadi, flexed his muscles again when the Glamour Boys ended CAPS United’s run in the Chibuku Super Cup semi-finals at the National Sports Stadium on Sunday.
However, three days before this heavyweight clash, Mudadi was fighting for his life at a private clinic in Waterfalls where he was taken by his wife.
She was in sight when he collapsed due to dehydration at home.
He even missed the team’s final training last Friday due to his unstable condition and he was a major doubt for this match following the doctor’s report.
But, his desire to see Dynamos regain their dominant status in the Castle Lager Premiership prevented him from agreeing with what some of the team’s officials suggested, which was for him to watch the derby from the stands.
He passed a late fitness test to participate in this game and put on a good show.
Mudadi never appeared to be someone who was battling a serious health condition, but Dynamos coach, Genesis Mangombe, replaced him in the late stages of the game.
He told Zimpapers Sport that he would not have forgiven himself if Dynamos had lost without his contribution.
“It was a decision I had to make and I told myself that I was going to play this game despite my condition.
“If it wasn’t for my wife who reacted quickly when I collapsed at home, I don’t know what would have happened to me because it was a terrible moment for me and I’m grateful to her effort.
“I also want to thank my coach and our team medical staff who did everything to get me fit to play against CAPS United. I was happy with my performance considering what had happened leading up to this match,” said Mudadi.
