Onismor Bhasera
Onismor Bhasera (born 7 January 1986) is a Zimbabwean professional footballer who plays as a left-back for SuperSport United in the South African Premier Soccer League. He previously played in the South African Premier Division for Bidvest Wits, Maritzburg United and Kaizer Chiefs, and the Football League for Plymouth Argyle. Bhasera has won caps at full international level for Zimbabwe.
Bhasera was born on 7 January 1986 in Mutare, a city in the Manicaland Province of Zimbabwe. He was part of the Lord Marlvern High School team that won the Coca-Cola Nash three times in a row between 2001 and 2003; he was also the school captain during this time.[citation needed] He was playing in the AYSA youth academy which trained at Lord Marlvern High School,[citation needed] before he joined Harare United, a club which competed in the Zimbabwean First Division, one league below the Premier League. His performances for the team brought him to the attention of South African club Tembisa Classic and he joined them for the 2004–05 season, linking up with compatriot Edward Sadomba. Bhasera featured 14 times in the National First Division, as they won promotion to the Premier Soccer League.
The club, and the contracts of its players, were then purchased by the owners of Maritzburg United. His first season at the highest level of South African football proved to be very productive; he played in 27 league matches, and the club secured its place in the division for a second year. He featured regularly for the club again in the 2006–07 season, playing 26 league games. His first goal in professional competition came on 27 April 2007 in an away game against Moroka Swallows. Bhasera's club were trailing 3–0 when he scored after 32 minutes. The season was to end in disappointment as they returned to the First Division, managing just four league wins from 30 matches.
His performances in a struggling side caught the eye of Kaizer Chiefs, one of the country's most prominent clubs, and he joined them ahead of the 2007–08 season. Bhasera scored his first goal for his new club on 29 September 2007 in the first round of the Telkom League Cup at home against Moroka Swallows. Bhasera scored the second goal in a 2–2 draw which the Amakhosi won by three goals to two after a penalty shootout. He scored his first league goal for the club just over a month later on 31 October 2007 against Free State Stars, scoring the Chiefs second goal after 77 minutes in a 3–0 home win. He went on to feature in 26 league games as the club finished sixth in the Premier Soccer League.
Bhasera collected his first winners medal with his new club on 1 December 2007 when the Kaizer Chiefs were crowned as the 2007 Telkom League Cup champions. The Amakhosi played out a 0–0 draw with Mamelodi Sundowns in the final at Loftus Versfeld Stadium which resulted in a penalty shootout being required to separate the two sides. Bhasera converted his penalty to give the Chiefs the lead, and team-mate Itumeleng Khune denied the Sundowns on three occasions as the Chiefs won the shootout by three goals to two.
Ahead of the 2008–09 season, the Kaizer Chiefs took part in the 2008 edition of the Vodacom Challenge, alongside Manchester United and Orlando Pirates. Bhasera featured in the starting eleven in all three of the Chiefs matches. During the first, a 1–1 draw with Manchester United, he was involved in an incident with Wayne Rooney. The England international appeared to aim a kick at Bhasera after a strong challenge from the left back, but it went undetected by the referee. Bhasera picked up a runners-up medal from the competition after the Chiefs were defeated 4–0 in the final.
The club won the MTN 8 title in September 2008, an annual competition made up of the top eight club's in the Premier Soccer League in the previous season. This time Bhasera missed his penalty in the shootout of the final at against Mamelodi Sundowns, after the match had finished 0–0, but the club went on to win by four goals to three at Kings Park Stadium. Bhasera featured in 25 league matches during the 2008–09 season, as the Amakhosi finished third in the table, five points behind Supersport United, who won the league title on goal difference. There was to be no repeat performance in the Telkom League Cup however, as the Chiefs were defeated 4–1 in the first round against Golden Arrows.
Bhasera travelled to England in the summer of 2009 for pre-season training with Portsmouth, under the belief that he was a free agent. He impressed the club enough for them to offer him a contract in August 2009, and he successfully applied for a work permit, before the Kaizer Chiefs claimed that he was still contracted to them for another year. Portsmouth denied that the delay in signing the player was because they couldn't afford to pay a transfer fee, rather they were unwilling to pay the £300,000 sum demanded by the South African club. The Chiefs responded by saying that the only reason that the transfer had not gone through was because Pompey were struggling financially.
