The footballer without a foot
They call him "The Terminator" after Hollywood star, Arnold Schwarzenegger. Now Kudakwashe Mapira is one of the first disabled people to play football for his country.
But Kuda describes life growing up in Zimbabwe with a disability "as like living in jail".
So the 28-year-old, who was born without a left foot, is now fighting against this discrimination through football.
Video produced by Daniel South and Janet Ball.
