RICHARDS BAY – After spending months without a club following his departure from Golden Arrows, reportedly after a misunderstanding with coach Manqoba Mngqithi, Knox Mutizwa reminded football fans that he is still a lethal striker when given the chance.
The recent Richards Bay signing was the hero of the day for the club, grabbing a brace as they beat Chippa United 4-1, knocking them out of the Carling Black Label Cup on Sunday.
Mutizwa opened his account in the 7th minute, rising highest in the box to head home from a corner and double Richards Bay’s lead after Ntlonelo Bomelo had scored in the 5th minute.
The ex-Highlanders striker then bagged his second in the 35th minute after Bomelo teed him up.
Mutizwa was voted Man of the Match by the fans, walking away with a cool R100,000.
The victory saw Richards Bay progress to the quarter final stage, where they will face Durban City.
