In the backdrop of his alleged salary, Mzansi has since connected the dots on his wages over the years. According to the Belgian newspaper Het Nieuwsblad, in 2020, Musona was earning around R18.85 million per year without bonuses.

However, several sources have it that he is now earning over R10 million after moving to Saudi Arabia. Little is known if his package was improved since he was given the club’s armband.

No doubt he is not new to big figures. He was among the highest-paid stars during his stints with Kaizer Chiefs. Over the years, he has been regarded as one of the top-earning Zimbabwean athletes.
