Piet Benade, Head Coach🇿🇼🏉
A proud Zimbabwean from Chegutu, Piet Benade was appointed Sables head coach in March 2024 at a time when Zimbabwe Rugby was searching for belief, direction and identity. Many questioned the appointment. He answered with results.
Since taking charge, Benade has become the central figure in Zimbabwe Rugby’s revival — rebuilding standards, reconnecting overseas talent to the badge, creating a strong team culture and turning the Sables into one of Africa’s most feared sides. Under his leadership, Zimbabwe won back-to-back Rugby Africa Cups, ended a 23-year wait for victory over Namibia and secured qualification for the Rugby World Cup for the first time since 1991.
More than a coach, Benade is widely respected by supporters and deeply trusted by his players. His man-management, tactical intelligence and ability to unite Zimbabweans around a common goal have made him the mastermind behind the Sables’ rise.
The numbers speak for themselves: an unbeaten record, 13 wins from 13 matches, African champions and a nation dreaming again. As Zimbabwe prepares for the Rugby World Cup, there is no doubt that Piet Benade has earned his place at the helm. This journey started with his vision — and he has to be the man who leads the Sables onto rugby’s biggest stage. 🇿🇼🏆
This is what most African players go through with agents.
June 2014 we started a new season and i joined Vitesse Arnhem from Red Star Belgrade and My good friend Marvelous Nakamba a.k.a Oga landlord is on trial.
He left Nancy in France for a trial with Vitesse and after he was signed on a 4years deal.
Then something interesting happened and the agent that brought him to Vitesse was a French guy who has been working with him for a while.
Me and Nakamba stayed very close to each other in Oosterbeek and we basically do everything together.
One day he told me that he ran out of money and I asked him how because i knew how much he was earning and I was like how is it possible you don't have money.
He said the French agent always take money from him every months even after he was already paid commission by Vitesse.
So I asked him how is he taking money from you and he said that it's what the representation contract says.
Then I asked him to show me the contract, my eyes couldn't believe what I'm reading in the contract.
I have always been open to learning about contracts and the FIFA rules so I had an idea what a representation contract should look like.
After reading it there was a lot of foul play in the contract and I can't even understand how the agent was able to logged it in the FA.
So I called lawyer that we have a problem and if he could help so he asked I should send him the rep contact and he will get back to me.
He my lawyer came back to me he said the contract is not legal so I asked him to help and he did by just sending email to the French agent and we reported him to Vitesse as well and we never heard from him again.
A lot of African players have been exploited by the lack of knowledge of the FIFA rules about rep contracts that most of these players ended up signing their lifes away.
True story....
