Why Kaizer Chiefs Legend Was Handed Multi-Million Token by Zimbabwean Tycoon [VIDEO]
Former Kaizer Chiefs star Knowledge Musona was among the recipients of a massive token from a Zimbabwean businessman.
Musona, who shone for Amakhosi in two stints, first between 2009 and 2011 and in the 2013-14 season, was invited by Zimbabwean tycoon Wicknell Chivhayo to pick $250,000 (Ksh32 million) in cash as a reward after their club made history.
Zimbabwean side Scottland FC clinched the league title in their maiden season in the top flight, a historic feat last achieved 41 years ago, which left Chivhayo in awe and he responded in the best way he knew how.

"In recognition of this massive, history‑breaking achievement, and for your exemplary leadership and passion for the game of football, I invite the team captain and the team manager to come and see me personally on Saturday to collect USD250,000 as a small token of my appreciation and to share it with the entire team, the coach and the technical staff. This is a well‑deserved victory and early Christmas gift to you,” Chivhayo posted on Facebook.
“I also take this opportunity to reaffirm my sponsorship pledge to the club, which will empower Scottland FC to sign on more young, talented players and keep building this unstoppable winning team. Come the 2025/2026 Season, Scottland FC will remain the champions and will become the envy of African football,” the statement continued.
Chivhayo lived up to the promise as Musona and his manager showed up to collect the reward on behalf of the team with the businessman giving them the money in cash.
Which Other PSL Star Plays for Scottland FC?
Scottland FC enjoyed a great campaign as they won 17 of their 32 matches, drawing 10, and losing five as they achieved the rare feat.
Musona is not the only former Chiefs player at Scottland FC as Khama Billiat is also on the books of the club with ex-Orlando Pirates striker Terrence Dzuvkamanja, Walter Musona, the former Polokwane City winger, and ex-Chippa United left-back Kevin Mayo also among the star-studded squad.
The league title win has earned the club a place in next year's CAF Champions League while a number of players from the club are in line to join the Zimbabwe national team for the 2025 Africa Cup of Nations in Morocco next month.
