Northern Region Soccer League (NRSL) club Chegutu Pirates have appointed Moses Chunga as their new head coach in a bid to secure a swift return to the Castle Lager Premier Soccer League.
This marks the first time in nearly a decade that Chunga, affectionately known as Bambo, will lead a club, as he has primarily focused on managing resources for his academy in recent years.
Chunga is a highly experienced coach, having previously won the PSL title with the now-defunct Gunners.
He has also coached prominent teams including Dynamos, CAPS United, Black Rhinos, and Shooting Stars.
Chegutu Pirates were relegated from the PSL at the end of the 2024 season, after spending just one season in the topflight league.
The club officially confirmed Chunga’s appointment as head coach in a recent statement. It said:
<blockquote>
Chegutu Pirates FC is thrilled to announce the appointment of Moses Chunga as the team’s head coach for the 2025 season.
The club warmly welcomes Chunga and is confident that his leadership will drive the team to new heights.
The club and its fans are eagerly anticipating the positive impact Chunga will have on the squad.
</blockquote>
However, Chunga faces a formidable challenge as Chegutu Pirates have recently experienced a player exodus.
Goalkeeper Sydney Mozeka and speedy winger Lewis Milanzi have both joined Bulawayo Chiefs following the appointment of Maxwell Takaendesa Jongwe as head coach of the Bulawayo side.
Another Pirates goalkeeper, Tafadzwa Jabangwe, along with defenders Ruben Machaya and Rodwell Mhlanga, have signed with Kwekwe-based club Hardrock.
Promising young central defender Maxwell Manuvire has been recruited by ZPC Kariba, while defensive midfielder Reginald Ngazima has moved to Triangle.

Chegutu Pirates Appoint Moses Chunga As Head Coach

Football legend Moses “Bambo” Chunga has dismissed critics who claim he should not have accepted a car gift from controversial businessman Wicknell Chivayo, who has ties to ZANU PF.
Chunga, along with prominent musicians like Leonard Karigoka Zhakata and Mai Charamba, has faced accusations of hypocrisy for accepting vehicles from someone with a questionable reputation.
Speaking at Faramatsi Motors, where he was collecting his brand-new Toyota Fortuner from Chivayo, Chunga, recently returned from Belgium, scoffed at the notion that he should feel guilty about accepting the gift. He said:
<blockquote>
There were rumours that Bambo was refusing to accept the car and some chatter about ZANU PF. I don’t think supporting ZANU PF is a sin… I appreciate [the gift] and I love my country.
</blockquote>
On Friday, Chivayo, whose wealth remains somewhat enigmatic, announced that he would be gifting cars to Moses Chunga and veteran ZBC presenter Charles “CNN” Mabika.
He said that the gesture was made in recognition of their contributions to football and their inspirational influence on millions of fans across Zimbabwe.
The previous Monday, Chivayo had also gifted cars to Mai Charamba, Leonard Karigoka Zhakata, and Mechanic Manyeruke. In a social media post about Chunga, Chivayo said:
<blockquote>
[He] is the undisputed MAESTRO of Zimbabwean football – made history with his trailblazing debut in BELGIUM, becoming one of the first Zimbabwean players to showcase his talent on the INTERNATIONAL stage.
His brilliance on the pitch brought GLAMOUR and STYLE to Dynamos Football Club, the “GLAMOUR BOYS.” As a young boy, watching him play was nothing short of mesmerizing.
His CREATIVITY, VISION, and TECHNICAL SKILL were in a league of their own. Chunga didn’t just play football, he REDEFINED it and his legacy is worth an appropriate recognition.

Moses "Bambo" Chunga, a famous football player, got a car gift from a person linked to ZANU PF, a political party in Zimbabwe. Some people said it's wrong, but Chunga thinks it's okay to support them. He and other famous people like musicians got cars as gifts from the same person, Wicknell Chivayo. Chivayo said they deserved it for their influence and talent. Chunga is known for his amazing football skills and style. Chivayo praised Chunga for his talent and legacy in Zimbabwean football.

Supporting ZANU PF Is Not A Sin, Says Moses Chunga

Just days after gifting three musicians with brand new Toyota Fortuner, businessman Wicknell Chivayo has now extended his “generosity” to football legend Moses “Bambo” Chunga and veteran ZBC presenter Charles “CNN” Mabika.
On Monday, Chivayo, whose wealth remains somewhat mysterious, presented cars to iconic musicians Leonard Karikoga Zhakata, Olivia Charamba, and Mechanic Manyeruke.
Today, Chivayo announced that he was gifting cars to Chunga and Mabika in recognition of their contributions to football and their inspirational impact on millions of fans across Zimbabwe. Said Chivayo:
<blockquote>
Today I am turning the spotlight onto two phenomenal individuals that I respect, who are LEGENDS in Zimbabwean football, my personal HEROES and as well my good old FRIENDS.
These men have shaped the face of our NATIONAL SPORT and inspired millions of football lovers, with their UNMATCHED talent, dedication and passion for the game.
One is the undisputed MAESTRO of Zimbabwean football – made history with his trailblazing debut in BELGIUM, becoming one of the first Zimbabwean players to showcase his talent on the INTERNATIONAL stage.
His brilliance on the pitch brought GLAMOUR and STYLE to Dynamos Football Club, the “GLAMOUR BOYS.” As a young boy, watching him play was nothing short of mesmerizing.
His CREATIVITY, VISION, and TECHNICAL SKILL were in a league of their own. Chunga didn’t just play football, he REDEFINED it and his legacy is worth an appropriate recognition.
</blockquote>
Chivayo also paid tribute to Mabika, saying the football commentator’s “unmatched commentary and encyclopaedic knowledge of the sport has made him a living legend. Wrote Chivayo:
<blockquote>
The other one is the VOICE of Zimbabwean football and is in a class of his own. His unmatched COMMENTARY and encyclopaedic KNOWLEDGE of the sport has made him a living LEGEND.
I remember growing up in the dusty streets of Chitungwiza, I used to imitate his ICONIC voice tichitamba chikweshe mu ghetto.
CNN’s commentary turned even the simplest match into a GRAND SPECTACLE. You could literally “WATCH” a football game, yet listening to his commentary on Radio 2 back in the day.
He made football not just a sport but a VIBRANT EXPERIENCE that united people from all walks of life.
On account of their prestigious contribution to Zimbabwean football, I wish to say a big congratulations to MOSES “BAMBO” CHUNGA and CHARLES “CNN” MABIKA.
Please go to FARAMATSI MOTORS, Club Chambers showroom at Corner 3rd Street and Nelson Mandela Avenue and see MR REEVES.
Your two brand SPANKING new 2024 Toyota Fortuner F24A 2.4D 4×4 Automatic are ready for collection. This is USD151 ,000 well spent WHOLE HEARTEDLY for a DESERVING football duo !!!!
This is my SMALL gesture of saying THANK YOU for inspiring not just ME but an ENTIRE nation of football lovers.
THANK YOU for turning every goal, every tackle, and every victory into UNFORGETTABLE moments of pure magic. LEGENDS like you deserve nothing less than LEGENDARY RECOGNITION.

Zimbabwean football legend Moses “Bambo” Chunga watched the European Nations League clash between Belgium and Italy last night.
Italy triumphed 1-0 over hosts Belgium to secure their place in the quarter-finals. Said Chunga:
<blockquote>
It was tough luck for Belgium as they succumbed to a 0-1 loss. It was a great game though.
</blockquote>
He then sent a heartfelt message of support to the Zimbabwe Warriors ahead of their crucial match against Kenya:
<blockquote>
Today, my Belgian colleagues, supporters, friends, and I want to wish our Zimbabwe Warriors all the best in today’s game against Kenya.
We are rallying behind coach Nees and the boys, and we know that they will do it.
Sending love from Aalst, Belgium.
</blockquote>
Chunga is currently in Belgium at the invitation of his former club, Eendracht Aalst, where he played from 1988 to 1992.

Zimbabwean football star Moses Chunga watched Belgium play Italy. Italy won 1-0. Chunga supports Zimbabwe team playing against Kenya. He is in Belgium with his old club. Support from Belgium for Zimbabwe.

Chunga Cheers On Warriors From Aalst, Belgium

Zimbabwean football legend Moses Chunga has weighed in on the recent controversy surrounding the Zimbabwe Football Association’s (ZIFA) new eligibility requirements for its chairperson.
One of the new rules is that candidates must have at least five Ordinary Level (O-Level) passes. Chunga, however, argued that footballers who fail to meet this academic benchmark should not be labelled as “madofo”—a derogatory Shona term meaning “dull” or “slow to understand.”
Rosemary Mugadza, the ZIFA Normalisation Committee (NC) member is quoted saying:
<blockquote>
I was given a chance by my parents to go to school and they made sure that I have the five O Levels.
I’m a CAF instructor, where a certain level of education is required for you to participate in terms of imparting knowledge to the other fellow females.
It’s the right time for us former footballers to enrol into night schools to get the required academics that we ought to have.
Also, if you look at the current situation that we have, the current crop of players, there are scholarships that are offered for them.
</blockquote>
ZIFA Normalisation Committee chairperson Lincoln Mutasa said:
<blockquote>
5 O levels are for seeing someone’s ability to be able to read and write, understand numbers and communicate with our principles whether at CAF or FIFA.
That’s basically the reason for that 5 O-level qualification requirement. It’s not a major hurdle, it’s a basic stepping stone only to distinguish those who can’t read and write.
</blockquote>
However, Chunga said some footballers and former footballers lack five O’Level passes not because they are “dull” or unintelligent, but because, during their teenage years, they faced the difficult choice between dedicating themselves to football or pursuing formal education.
He pointed out that many young players prioritised their athletic careers, often sacrificing their schooling in pursuit of professional football. He said (via <a href="https://nehandaradio.com/2024/11/13/zifa-widening-the-rift-with-most-fans-over-5-o-levels-and-residence-requirement/">Nehanda Radio</a>):
<blockquote>
5 0’Levels – why most footballers are without. The recent change in the ZIFA constitution which added 5 O’Levels as a requirement set the social media ablaze.
Some constructive comments and some which were labelling soccer players as “madofo.” Today I just want to let you in on the life of a footballer, where you will see why most of them do not have the 5.
Those who follow my posts know that I started playing football for Lytton Primary School B team when I was only around 8 years old.
From that age onwards football was all that mattered to me. I would spend most of my time training, and nurturing my talent.
A footballer trains their muscle between ages 6 and 18. Qualities like speed of thought, accuracy, endurance, resistance, strength and skill have to be mastered between 6 and 18. Fact.
By the time one is 18, they would have reached the end of growth. (Fact). So if one is to excel in football he has to spend most of his teenage years on the field of training.
Unfortunately, this is also the time when this same guy is needed in the classroom. In the end, he/she has to make a difficult decision, that of choosing football ahead of formal education.
Those who mix football with formal education and excel in both are the rare ones. In conclusion, let’s not be too quick to judge these footballers.
They spent hours and hours practising so that you may be entertained. Please let’s not humiliate them.
</blockquote>
Another controversial requirement for eligibility to become ZIFA president is that candidates must have been resident in Zimbabwe for at least two years prior to the election.

Zimbabwean football legend Moses Chunga thinks it's unfair to call footballers who don't have 5 O-Levels "madofo", which means dull. ZIFA wants its chairperson candidates to have 5 O-Levels. Others say it's important for things like communication. Chunga says many footballers had to choose between football and school when they were young. They focused on training and playing football, instead of studying. It was a hard decision for them. Let's not judge them too quickly, they worked hard for their talent. The ZIFA president also needs to have lived in Zimbabwe for at least two years.

Footballers Without 5 O-Levels Aren't "Madofo", Says Moses Chunga

Zimbabwean football icon Moses “Bambo” Chunga recently made a return to Belgium, where he was invited by his former club, Eendracht Aalst Lede, reported <a href="https://nehandaradio.com/2024/11/12/moses-chunga-back-in-belgium-honored-by-ex-club-eendracht-aalst-lede/">Nehanda Radio</a>.
Chunga, who played for the club from 1988 to 1992, is regarded as one of the team’s all-time greats, with his exceptional contributions during his playing days cementing his legendary status.
The club’s management extended the invitation to Chunga, hoping to tap into his legacy and assist in rekindling Eendracht Aalst Lede’s former glory.
During his visit, Chunga attended the club’s weekend match against Erpe-Mere United, where Eendracht Aalst Lede secured a 2-0 victory.
In recognition of his enduring connection with the club, Eendracht Aalst Lede posted a tribute to Chunga on social media, acknowledging his presence and celebrating his continued importance to the club. It said:
<blockquote>
Under the watchful eye of Moses Chunga, we win the champion against Erpe-Mere United 0-2.
We jump to second place in the ranking and are approaching two points of leader Wetteren.
</blockquote>
By inviting Chunga, Eendracht Aalst Lede aims to reignite the spirit of their glory days and inspire a new generation of players.
In a short video shared by the club on social media, the former Zimbabwe Warriors captain expressed his commitment to the cause, saying he is in Belgium to “support the project and help get the club back to where it belongs.” He said:
<blockquote>
Hello, guys I’m saddened by what happened to our team, I’m energised and happy to be here (Belgium).
I’m hoping to see you tomorrow (Sunday) at the game. Let’s believe again.

Chunga Returns To Belgium, Honoured By Ex-Club Eendracht Aalst Lede

A picture of football legend Moses Chunga hitchhiking has sparked debate on the welfare of former footballers.
Arguably, the majority of footballers including those who played in foreign countries, spend the rest of their lives in poverty after hanging up their boots.
Bambo, as Chunga is affectionately known, is rated among Zimbabwe’s greatest former footballers and managers.
Chunga was spotted flagging down lifts at an unknown location, and the picture, which has gone viral on social media, has evoked sad emotions.
Some commentators have blamed the government’s unwise economic policies for Bambo’s “predicament” while others have accused Chunga of failing to plan for his future when he was playing football in Belgium.
Here are some of the comments on the photo of Chunga hitchhiking that was shared on Facebook by <a href="https://www.facebook.com/100064054903356/posts/493910516087441/?app=fbl">Lighthouse News Zimbabwe:</a>
Josephy Nyanyirayi: There is no reward for an honest man in Zimbabwe. Bambo if this is true I can only tell those that don’t know him that he did well to work for his family from his football days to owning one in the Premier League, but the country failed him. For those who are in business truth be told…. the environment is harsh. Poor governance at gvt level will erode all your hard work. If I as a Zimbabwean does not feel confident about my economy what about the so-called investors? Keep dreaming.
Shadreck Anesuishe Suluma: Catching a lift is it a sign of poverty? With such thoughts, we will never remove ZANU PF.
Phillip Matululu Nyahoda: Bambo played his part as a great footballer, it would be naive to assume if he is facing challenges the fault is his. How many times do we plan and our plans fall through? That Bambo is not begging at anyone’s house, means he is managing, not being mobile is not an indicator of suffering. If he has a house, has sent his children to get an education eats what he can afford he is doing well snd good under the current environment.
Trevor Munhundiripo: I don’t know why we always blame the government, sometimes you need to invest and spend wisely, there are a lot of people out there working very hard earning mari shoma than yema footballers but they are succeeding varikutovaka dzimba and doing businesses isu tichingoti hurumende.
Naphtal Berman: Moses Chunga was a good footballer he even plied his trade overseas with proper planning and investing and taking care of his money he should be living at least comfortably and by the way, it doesn’t mean that when one catches a lift it means he is suffering.
Trevor Machanja: This is an example of how demons in Politicians have choked all potential &amp; talent in the country, it only seeks poverty &amp; suffering in people. Sports, entertainment, health, education, and infrastructure, just to name a few etc, all are destroyed by selfish leaders. It’s like suicide on ourselves.
Patrick Phiri: Most Zimbabwean footballers messed up their lives themselves when they are playing football and earning a lot of money they also earn a lot of women changing from one woman to another not knowing that anything can happen at any time look at a man who went to Belgium to play his football there and earned a lot of money can’t even afford a Honda Fit shame it is a big lesson to all of us who are working today please try your best to save in case.
A year ago, <a href="https://zero.pindula.co.zw/peter-ndlovu-misses-out-on-us120-000-house-gift-from-sakunda/">Chunga and another football icon Madinda Ndlovu were given houses worth US$90 000 each by Sakunda Holdings.</a>
Sakunda also gifted a house worth US$120 000 to the late football icon George Shaya’s family.

Picture Of Moses Chunga Hitchhiking Sparks Debate On Social Media

Football legend Moses “Bambo” Chunga has been included in a strategic planning committee that has been appointed by the Zimbabwe Football Association (ZIFA) board.
The strategic planning committee was appointed by the ZIFA executive committee led by acting president Gift Banda during a meeting in Harare.
The 12-member strategic planning committee has the following members:
<ol>
<li>Former Warriors captain Moses Chunga</li>
<li>CAPS United vice president Nhamo Tutisani</li>
<li>Harare City chairperson Alois Masepe</li>
<li>Masvingo provincial leader Naboth Magwizi</li>
<li>Central Region member Pithias Shoko</li>
<li>Former Highlanders chief executive officer and CAF administration instructor Nhlanhla Dube</li>
<li>Memory Mbondiya</li>
<li>Premier Soccer League CEO Kennedy Ndebele</li>
<li>Andrew Tapela</li>
<li>Aces Youth Academy director Marc Duvillard</li>
<li>Morris Banda</li>
<li>Theresa Maguraushe</li>
</ol>
Acting ZIFA chief executive officer Xolisani Gwesela explained the rationale behind the appointment of the strategic planning committee. He said:
<blockquote>
The executive committee resolved that while it is desirable to engage FIFA and have the suspension lifted, local reforms are key to resuscitating and growing the beautiful game of football.
The executive committee noted with great concern that ZIFA has for a long time been operating without strategic direction and resolved to appoint a strategic planning committee to come up with a long-term strategic plan which will guide the association’s activities and operations, and consequently aid in growing football while producing competitive national teams.
</blockquote>
ZIFA also reconstituted the referees’ committee. Ruzive Ruzive was appointed deputy chairperson to board member Barbra Chikosi, Sabelo Maphosa was appointed as the secretary, while Makonese Masakadza and Wilfred Mukuna are committee members.

Moses Chunga Appointed In Key ZIFA committee

Warriors and Dynamos legend Moses “Bambo” Chunga believes it was not necessary to fire former coach Zdravko “Loga” Logarusic as the challenges bedevilling the senior men’s national team reflect those in charge at the Zimbabwe Football Association (ZIFA).
The Croatian was shown the exit door on Sunday after ZIFA bowed down to pressure from local football fans and pundits to fire him following a string of poor results.
But Chunga said the national team problems go beyond the Croatian or any other individual who will be named as head coach. Said Bambo:
<blockquote>
I think this is something that is very clear. We have lived with these problems for a long time.
It is unfortunate that when some of us speak we are labelled rebels and called all sorts of names. We are vilified for our love and knowledge of the game.
The problem with our national team goes beyond the Croatian. I even do not see the reason we had to fire him when we all know that we have individuals occupying offices they barely deserve.
I am talking about the very offices that are entrusted with the duty of making these technical appointments.
The academic qualifications that we are so worried and concerned about are not the be-all and end-all of football technical administration.
We all know the right people who have knowledge and understanding of our football who should be doing the technical staff for ZIFA, but somehow we find joy in sidelining them.
</blockquote>
Logarusic presided over probably the worst run by the Warriors, winning just one in 14 attempts, managing five draws and eight defeats since his appointment in January last year.
Although he helped Zimbabwe qualify for the rescheduled AFCON finals to be held in Cameroon early next year, the foundation for the team’s qualification was laid by Joey Antipas, who took charge of the team’s first two matches and collected four points.
With Logarusic in charge, the Warriors were knocked out in the first round of both the African Nations Championship (CHAN) and the COSAFA Cup finals.
The ZIFA board also resolved to disband the entire Warriors technical team that include assistants, Lloyd Chitembwe, Tonderayi Ndiraya and the recently appointed former Warriors captain, Benjani Mwaruwari.
FC Platinum coach Norman Mapeza has since been roped in on an interim basis while ZIFA looks for the substantive Warriors coach.

Sacking Loga Wasn't Necessary - Bambo

Highlander player or former player Tinashe Makanda has denied reports and dismissed confirmation that he signed with Dynamos a club that happens to be Highlander’s bitter rival, The Sunday News reports.
A picture of Makanda signing a document while clad in what looks like a Dynamos jersey together with his agent has been circulating on social media.
<img alt="Tinashe Makanda Dynamos " class="alignnone wp-image-184304 size-full" decoding="async" height="380" loading="lazy" sizes="(max-width: 680px) 100vw, 680px" src="https://t792ae.c2.acecdn.net/wp-content/uploads/2020/10/Tinashe-Makanda-signs-what-appears-to-be-a-Dynamos-contract.jpg" srcset="https://news.pindula.co.zw/wp-content/uploads/2020/10/Tinashe-Makanda-signs-what-appears-to-be-a-Dynamos-contract.jpg 680w, https://news.pindula.co.zw/wp-content/uploads/2020/10/Tinashe-Makanda-signs-what-appears-to-be-a-Dynamos-contract-300x168.jpg 300w" width="680"/>
Furthermore, Dynamos’ Tonderai Ndiraya said Makdanda has signed a pre-contract a reported that was reportedly confirmed by Moses Shumba the Glamour Boys’ Vice Chairman.
However, Makanda’s agent Trust Nyambiya denied that the star signed with Bosso’s bitter rivals and said there was a deal on the table for a Zambian club for the player and if it doesn’t pan out, he will go back to Highlanders:
<blockquote>Dynamos lied that we signed with them, the player is heading to Nkana but if the deal collapses, we will listen to local offers including Highlanders that is only if they are interested.
What he signed is an agreement of a six weeks contract since the player had an injury, he is now fit, they are the ones who are taking care of his medical bills, in return he advertises Gold Leaf Tobacco products. It’s all about GLT not Dynamos
How can a player move from Highlanders to Dynamos? It doesn’t make sense, a player of Tinashe Makanda’s calibre should not be playing in Zimbabwe.</blockquote>
Makanda’s supposed departure <a href="https://news.pindula.co.zw/2020/10/08/highlanders-player-tinashe-makanda-joins-dynamos/">had divided Highlanders fans as some said he had sold</a> out while others said loyalty to a club doesn’t pay rentals.

Tinashe Makanda Denies Joining Dynamos

Zimbabwean football legend and former Warriors captain <a href="https://www.pindula.co.zw/Moses_Chunga" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Moses “Bambo” Chunga</a> feels that local football greats of yesteryear are underappreciated.
Bambo argued that football is not growing in Zimbabwe because of the disdain shown towards football legends.
Sometimes, it is very difficult for them to enter stadiums and watch football matches and can have dogs unleashed on them, Bambo lamented.
When the Warriors legends played the Barcelona legends in Harare in 2017, the former were each paid $3 000 while the latter were paid $50 000 per player. Said Chunga:
<blockquote>One of the reasons our game continues to lag behind is that we don’t recognise and appreciate the role our football legends played.
For example, you can imagine we were paid a paltry US$3 000 each while the Barcelona legends went home with around US$50 000.</blockquote>
Last year, former Warriors captain Benjani Mwaruwari had to jump over a fence to get into Barbourfields Stadium to watch a match after he was denied free entry.

Treat Football Legends With Respect - Moses Chunga

Dynamos legend Moses Chunga who is currently unattached has said that he is interested in becoming Dynamos’ coach. Speaking to The Standard, Chunga said,
<blockquote>How can I comment about what’s happening at Dynamos when I’m an interested party? I’m always available and willing to help wherever possible, but the decision rests entirely with the club.
…Like what I have always said before, in all things you need to have the right human resources to succeed. You cannot succeed when you have a situation where you’ve got a sheep leading a pride of lions like what’s happening at Dynamos now.</blockquote>

St John’s College midfielder Calum English-Brown is ineligible to play for Zimbabwe’s under-17 soccer team because he holds a British passport.
Speaking to The Herald, ZIFA spokesperson Xolisani Gwesela confirmed that the teenager was not eligible to feature for Zimbabwe in Mauritius for the upcoming COSAFA Under-17 tournament. Warriors under-17 coach Moses Chunga said that he will announce the final squad today.

Teenager ineligible for selection for Warriors U17

Speaking to The Herald, Warriors under 17 coach Moses Chunga justified including his 16 year old son Madalitso in the provisional squad that is preparing for the COSAFA Under-17 tournament which will be held in Mauritius from July 21 to 30.
Said Chunga:
<blockquote>He is just like any other player who has been called into the team. He is only 16 and still needs two years to prove himself. But make no mistake to compare him to the legendary Bambo. Everybody is unique in his own way and I don’t understand why there is always comparison between me and Peter Ndlovu. We train together at home, but he is a bit shy. I don’t want to put him under pressure. But you find that when we are together people always ask him if he is going to be good as me. Very few sons of former successful footballers have made it, but I believe we must leave these youngsters to be what they can be.</blockquote>
