Manzini On Iraq: 'I Had Never Seen A Dead Body...'

There are many who might not know that Lerato Manzini was playing his football in Iraq and is actually still contracted to Al Qasim SC until the end of June. The striker is currently back in South Africa, having experienced difficulty with the war in Gaza, which has affected life in Iraq . During the time he was in Iraq with Al Qasim, the former Bloemfontein Celtic and Chippa United striker made 21 appearances and found the back of the net on seven occasions.

Tshepang Mailwane: Hello Lerato, thanks for making time to speak to us. Why are you back in the country before your contract in Iraq expired?In Iraq, they had United Nations soldiers. As foreigners, we had access to the United Nations soldiers, in case things got worse. When the war in Gaza started, Iraq was also affected, and it was not easy for us as foreigners to continue being that side. It was difficult when the United Nations left, so we were advised to leave the country.
