In a past interview with The Star, Mwololo revealed that he was already a goalkeeper in the school team by class five before the school coach intervened and changed his role to that of a striker.
“I remember being in goal for the first team a couple of matches then the coach said he needed to change my position in the team, and I played as a striker and then we went to the nationals. From then, my position changed to striker,” he said.
