Chikwaikwai's strength lies in his speed, football brains, close ball control and good sense of positioning.He played alongside his oldest brother Manyowa for Rusape side Grain Masters between 2000 and 2004 before coming to Harare for trials with premiership side CAPS United.The move was stalled when he sustained a career threatening ankle injury during a training session.The former Njube Sundowns striker was named Zimbabwe's 2008/9 'Soccer Star of the Year' after he finished as the league's top goal-scorer with 23 goals in 28 games.He donated part of his prize money for Soccer Star of the Year to Maggies Day Centre,an orphanage at his home area of Rusape.
