School / Education
No information was found on his Junior or High School, or any tertiary education.
Service/Career
He started his football career playing for Black Rhinos Juniors from 2009 up to 2013. While growing up in the ghetto he was exposed to playing with plastic balls and watching World Cups. He became interested in playing football and as a right back because his role model was Dani Alves, the Brazilian who was playing for Spanish La Liga giants Barcelona then.
Madhake then joined Maningi Academy in 2014.
From 2015 to 2017 he joined Harare City Cubs where he saw his stock rise and found himself being promoted into the first team in 2018 and was part of the Harare City Football Club team until end of 2020 and has earned himself several caps for the senior team. [1] He joined Black Rhinos Football Club for the 2021 football season.
Madhake completed his switch from Black Rhinos to Ngezi Platinum F.C. on 20 January 2023 on a two-year contract as announced by the club on their official twitter page.[2] Madhake was one of the most stand-out defenders in the Zimbabwe Premier Soccer League during the 2022 season and he narrowly missed a place on the Soccer Stars of the Year calendar though he was rewarded with a Players' Player of the Year accolade at his former club Black Rhinos. The centre-back introduced his entry in professional football as a right back at Harare City before converting into a centre-back at Black Rhinos under Herbert 'Jompano' Maruwa.[3]
