Zebaldt Ngaruka OTJOMBUNDIRO – Omaheke football legend Kaamberua ‘Mberuaa’ Hambira believes modern-day strikers lack the instinct and hunger for goals that defined players of his generation. The 57-year-old, who made his name as a prolific forward for African Stars, remains one of the most respected figures in the Epukiro constituency. Known for his sharp finishing and composure in front of goal, Hambira enjoyed a career in which he scored consistently for both club and community teams.
In addition to his time with African Stars, Hambira also featured for Omarombora Eleven and Epukiro Chiefs FC, where he netted goals regularly in the then-Omaheke First Division. “We played with our hearts and had a real hunger for goals. That is something missing in today’s strikers,”
