PICS! Mhango Shows Us Memories Of 12 Years Frienship With Gerald Phiri
In Africa, it’s not usual that you find professional footballers who played amateur football together to prosper to the extent that they represent the national team as teammates.
Well, the football friendship of the Malawian internationals Gabadinho Mhango and Gerald Phiri goes way back to when they were still struggling while making their way up.
As Phiri was celebrating a birthday in recent days, Mhango took to Instagram to post their old pictures and wrote a message expressing excitement that they’ve achieved their goals.

“Happy Birthday my brother, Gerald Phiri. So happy to have achieved our goals together in our 12 years of friendship. To me you’re no longer a friend but a real brother that has always been there for me at my highest and lowest points in life. I really appreciate you. HAPPY BIRTHDAY,” Mhango wrote on his Instagram account.
Phiri is currently playing for Al-Hilal Club of Sudan following his move from Baroka FC in 2021. While Mhango was recently announced as the new AmaZulu signing after leaving Orlando Pirates.
