Hadebe completed his move to Chiefs last week.
Nengomasha is one of a few Zimbabweans who made a name for themselves at Chiefs.
“It’s a big responsibility for him because there are some boys who have come from Zimbabwe and didn’t set the stage alight‚” Nengomasha‚ who serves as the ambassador for the Best Brew League – Castle’s 5-aside tournament‚ said.
“He must understand the situation he is in.
“He also has to redeem things for us and pave the way for youngsters back home who aspire to play for Chiefs.
“If he does well‚ Chiefs will believe that we still have the quality.
“If you look in the past‚ you have a number of players who came from Zimbabwe and shined at Chiefs.
“You can go as far back as the days of Mike Maringa‚ Robson Muchichwa and (Ebson) Sugar Muguyo.
“When I started at Chiefs‚ I was told about Muguyo by most people in the club. Teenage must carry that responsibility of raising Zimbabwe’s flag.”
