NAME TWIN
He shares the same name as fellow Zimbabwean athlete Ngonidzashe Makusha, who represented the nation in long jump at the 2008 Olympic Games in Beijing, and says he is often mistaken for his countryman. "It's been a big problem because most of the people think that I am the other Ngoni Makusha. But right now [speaking in 2018] people are starting to get the situation now. They know that I am my own person really. But it kind of inspires me to perform because people when they see me they think I am the other Ngoni Makusha. So it's kind of like a motivation for me to do well." (newsday.co.zw, 22 Jun 2021; chronicle.co.zw, 11 Aug 2018)
