Devon Chafa Taitamba (born 25 December 1990) is a Zimbabwean footballer who plays as a defender for Ngezi Platinum and the Zimbabwe national team.
Chafa began his career with Dynamos, his spell with Dynamos was mainly a success as he left in 2015 following four Zimbabwe Premier Soccer League medals and two Mbada Diamonds Cup medals but he did suffer a thirty-day suspension after testing positive for a banned substance by FIFA in 2013. [1] [2] [3] [4] The reasoning behind his departure in 2015 was that new Dynamos manager David Mandigora did not renew his contract. [5] After leaving in 2015, Chafa signed for How Mine with whom he remained with until 2016 when he joined CAPS United. [6] [7] He left CAPS in December 2017. [8]
Two months later, Chafa signed for Zambian Premier League side Buildcon. [9] Buildcon released Chafa in August 2018. [10] He returned to Zimbabwe with Platinum a month later. [11] 2020 saw Chafa join Ngezi Platinum. [12]
Chafa's first two competitive international caps came in qualifying for the 2014 FIFA World Cup against Egypt and Guinea. [13] [14]
During the COVID-19 pandemic, Chafa was accused on breaking lockdown rules by playing local "money games" with amateur footballers in Budiriro. [15] Chafa denied these claims, though his Ngezi Platinum manager Rodwell Dhlakama publicly condemned him for the games. [15] [16]
