On Monday, July 30th, 2018, just as the golden hues of dawn painted the Nairobi skyline, Zachary Bemba stepped out of Giraffe Manor, savoring the final moments of his tranquil vacation.
As he settled in the waiting SUV, the World Cup champion, Golden Ball victor, and Golden Boot winner felt a mixture of excitement and anticipation bubbling within him. He was on the cusp of something monumental, as today was the day he would embark on a new chapter in his illustrious career.
Accompanying him were his trusted companions: Kristin, his personal assistant, and Lorenzo, his ever-vigilant bodyguard. An excited atmosphere surrounded them as the SUV smoothly navigated through the bustling streets of Nairobi, making its way to Jomo Kenyatta International Airport.
The journey through the city was mostly uneventful, but as they approached the terminal, fans and photographers swarmed towards them, eager for a glimpse of the global footballing icon.
