Former Brave Warriors stars Johannes 'Congo' Hindjou and deadly left-footer Gervatius 'Gerros the Bomber' Uri-Khob are backing the team, as they gear up to take on Zambia in a 2019 Afcon qualifier on Saturday.During his heyday, Hindjou who is the current mayor of Okahandja, was known to score goals when they counted for the national team.He has 69 Warriors caps to his name.The midfielder represented his country at the 1998 Afcon tournament and played for Liverpool Okahandja, as well as Civics FC. He won the Namibia Premier League with both clubs before retiring in 2007, after a spell with African Stars. He also later coached Okahandja Spoilers and Eleven Arrows.“This is a do-or-die match. You know your strengths and weaknesses, so work on them before the match and good luck to all the players and coach. I will see you all at the field on Saturday,” Hindjou said.Uri-Khob was a prolific striker, who served the national side between 1992 and 1998, including at the 1998 Afcon tourney, where he managed to score two goals in a 3-3 draw with Angola.“I played with most of the guys who are in the technical team. I trust them and I also have trust in the players' capabilities. Hopefully I will also be at the field on match day,” Uri-Khob said.Hindjou is the Warriors most capped player, while Uri-Khob is the all-time top scorer with 12 goals. The match will kickoff at 16:00 at the Sam Nujoma Stadium.
