He was named the Big South Player of the week in a record of four times in one season. Mkhokheli Dube was also the First Team All -Conference selection for the second year in a row. Dube, who is a former Highlanders player and Zimbabwe under 23 select, is at the top of his game. He was ranked 14th in the NCAA and was crowned the Big South Conference player of the year. He led the Carolina Coastal to a 6-0 record in the Big South last season.
Mkhokheli, a Bulawayo native, who grew up in Pumula totalled 16 goals and 10 assists for his college team. He was drafted by the New England Revolution earlier this year, making a debut into the United States major league Soccer (MLS). This is no small achievement for 24 year old Dube who will be in the same league with great players like David Beckam, a former Manchester United and England player. Not too many Zimbabwean soccer players have broken into the US market, only Joseph Ngwenya. Joseph, who also played for New England, has since moved to Austria.
