In a significant ruling, Castle Lager Premier Soccer League club Yadah Stars has been fined $82,000 by FIFA for breaching the contracts of three Brazilian players they had signed.
The penalties stem from Yadah’s breach of the contracts they had entered into with the Brazilian trio of Joao Pedro Marques Barcellos, Juan Luciano Faria, and Deivid Pereira de Brito, who were unveiled by the club on July 14, 2023.
As reported by <a href="https://www.sundaymail.co.zw/yadahs-brazilian-raid-backfires-fined-heavily-by-fifa-face-ban-from-buying-players">The Sunday Mail</a>, the South American players, unhappy with the treatment they received from Yadah, took their case to FIFA on May 10.
FIFA determined that Yadah had terminated the players’ contracts “without just cause” just a few months after signing them.
As a result of this breach, Yadah Stars has been ordered to pay the $82,000 fine.
The club has been given until July 27 to make the payment, and failure to do so within 45 days of the judgment could result in a ban on registering new players both locally and internationally for three consecutive transfer windows.
According to the June 12 FIFA Dispute Resolution Chamber (DRC) ruling, Yadah Stars must pay each of the three players a total of $19,580, plus 5% interest per annum from April 4, 2024, until the full amount is paid.
This means Yadah Stars is required to pay a total of $58,740 in compensation to the three Brazilian players.
The ruling further directs the club to pay each player $1,220 per month for the period between November 1, 2023, and April 1, 2024 – the timeframe during which Yadah Stars failed to meet their contractual obligations.
FIFA has since notified the Zimbabwe Football Association (ZIFA) and the Footballers Union of Zimbabwe (FUZ) about the sanctions imposed on Yadah Stars.
When contacted by The Sunday Mail for comment, Yadah Stars chairperson Everson Chatambudza did not respond to questions about the club’s plans to comply with the FIFA ruling.

Yadah Stars Fined $82,000 By FIFA For Breaching Brazilian Players' Contracts

The Grain Millers Association of Zimbabwe (GMAZ) has sent a 20-member delegation to Sao Paulo, Brazil to negotiate the delivery of approximately 400,000 metric tonnes of yellow and white maize.
GMAZ Chairperson Tafadzwa Musarara told <a href="https://www.newzimbabwe.com/zimbabwean-millers-in-negotiations-with-brazilian-partners-for-supply-of-400000-metric-tonnes-of-yellow-white-maize/">NewZimbabwe.com</a> that maize imports from Brazil will augment local produce and imports from South Africa.
The delivery of the maize is expected to start in July if the discussions are fruitful. Said Musarara:
<blockquote>
This maize will complement our current supplies from local farmers and ongoing imports from South Africa.
We are aiming to procure and secure a circa 400,000 metric tonnes supply arrangement covering September 2024 to August 2025.
We are here to negotiate and conclude supplies to arrive in Zimbabwe starting at the end of July 2024.
</blockquote>
During the 2023/24 summer cropping season, Zimbabwe recorded its worst harvest in four decades, consequentially putting millions at risk of hunger.
This has been attributed to El Nino, a weather event that often causes sporadic rainfall and scorching heat which has a debilitating impact on Zimbabwe’s largely rainfed agriculture.
Zimbabwe was the third country in Africa to declare this year’s drought a national disaster, following Malawi and Zambia.

Zimbabwean Grain Millers In Brazil To Source Maize

During the XV BRICS Summit held in Johannesburg, South African President Cyril Ramaphosa announced that the BRICS bloc, consisting of Brazil, Russia, India, China, and South Africa, has made the decision to extend invitations to six countries to join the bloc as new members. These countries are Argentina, Egypt, Iran, Ethiopia, Saudi Arabia, and the United Arab Emirates. This expansion of the BRICS organization is part of its strategic plan for growth.
At the summit, the BRICS leaders adopted the Johannesburg II Declaration, which outlines their shared vision and commitments. Effective January 2024, Argentina, Egypt, Ethiopia, Iran, Saudi Arabia, and the United Arab Emirates have been formally admitted as members of the BRICS bloc.
The topic of expanding the BRICS bloc has been a prominent issue on the summit’s agenda, with discussions held over the course of the three-day event in Johannesburg. While all BRICS members have expressed public support for the expansion, differences among the leaders have arisen regarding the extent and pace of the enlargement process.
In June of this year, President Emmerson Mnangagwa announced that Zimbabwe had submitted a request to join the BRICS New Development Bank (NDB) and anticipated receiving support from Russia. The President made this statement during a bilateral meeting with Russian President Vladimir Putin in St. Petersburg, Russia, as part of his attendance at the second Russia-Africa Economic and Humanitarian Forum. The NDB, established in 2015 by the BRICS countries serves as a multilateral financial institution aimed at financing infrastructure and sustainable development projects in BRICS nations, as well as other emerging market economies and developing countries.
This is happening when Zimbabwe’s access to credit has significantly reduced in the past twenty years, leaving the country with limited financial flexibility. International financial institutions such as the IMF and the World Bank, which are part of the Breton Woods institutions, halted lending to Zimbabwe in the early 2000s due to its substantial debt. Despite Zimbabwe’s repayment to the IMF, the institution declined to provide further financial assistance, stating that the country still had outstanding debts with other financial institutions. As a result, Zimbabwe’s options for obtaining credit have been severely constrained, putting significant pressure on its fiscal capabilities.

BRICS Add 6 More Countries To The Bloc

Yadah Stars Football Club on Friday morning unveiled three Brazilian players, Joao Pedro (20), Luciano Farias (21) and Pereira de Brito (20) at their Yadah Hotel in Harare.
The Brazilians signed two-year contracts.
Yadah, which is sponsored by BetterBrands Jewelleries, said the players will bring the Samba flair to the domestic football scene.
According to <a href="https://www.goal.com/en-in/news/samba-soccer-brazil-football-style-dancing-tricks-explained/bltab9aabd6002977a3">Goal.com</a>, Samba soccer is a style of football that is heavily influenced by varying aspects of Brazilian culture. It is also known as “Ginga”, which translates to “swing or “sway” in English.
Playing with Ginga is to perform with a certain level of swagger, arrogance and style.
Brazilian players are famous for performing some of the most audacious skills and this is driven by their samba soccer identity.
Meanwhile, play FC Platinum at Mandava Stadium but the game may have come too soon for the Brazilians who arrived in Harare on Wednesday.

Yadah Stars FC Unveil Three Brazilian Players

Brazilian striker, Neymar Junior, has said the late football icon, Pele, gave value to football and the number 10 jersey.
Neymar who plies his trade for Paris Saint Germain made the remarks in his tribute to Pele following the death of the three-time World Cup Winner on Thursday. In a statement seen by Pindula News, Neymar said:
<blockquote>
Before Pelé, 10 was just a number.
I’ve read this phrase somewhere, at some point in my life.
But this sentence, beautiful, is incomplete.
I would say before Pelé football was just a sport.
Pelé has changed it all.
He turned football into art, into entertainment.
Gave voice to the poor, blacks and mostly:
Gave visibility to Brazil.
Soccer and Brazil have raised their status thanks to the King!
He’s gone but his magic remains.
Pelé is FOREVER!!
</blockquote>
The former Santos FC star, widely regarded as one of the greatest footballers of all time (GOAT), <a href="https://zero.pindula.co.zw/football-legend-pele-moved-to-palliative-care-in-hospital-reports/">had been at the Albert Einstein Israelite Hospital in Sao Paulo since 29 November.</a>
A medical report just before Christmas showed that he needed care for cardiac and renal dysfunction, having been battling colon cancer since September 2021.
He died aged 82.
Pele – originally named Edson Arantes do Nascimento – began playing for Santos at the age of 15 and the Brazilian national team a year later, bursting onto the world football scene as a 17-year-old in the 1958 World Cup.

"Before Pelé, Football Was Just A Sport, 10 Was Just A Number" - Neymar Jr

Brazil head coach Tite has left his role after their shock World Cup quarter-final exit at the hands of Croatia, Sky Sports reported.
Croatia defeated the five-time world champions 4-2 in the penalty shootout win at the Education City Stadium after the game ended in a 1-1 draw.
Croatia, who needed two shootouts and an extra-time win to reach the final in 2018, kept their composure as Brazil’s Marquinhos and Rodrygo failed to convert, while Nikola Vlasic, Lovro Majer, Luka Modric and Mislav Orsic completed a perfect set of spot-kicks.
The European nation booked a place in the World Cup semi-finals as the hot tournament favourites crashed out. Manager Zlatko Dalic said afterwards:
<blockquote>
We eliminated the biggest favourites.
</blockquote>
Tite, who had been in charge since 2016 after replacing Dunga, had said in February it was always his intention to stand down after this tournament.

Tite Resigns After Brazil's Defeat To Croatia

Brazil’s former president, Luiz Inacio Lula da Silva, Monday defeated incumbent Jair Bolsonaro in a bitter and extremely close presidential election.
The former leader known as “Lula” marked a stunning return to power by tweeting a picture of the Brazilian flag with just one word:
<blockquote>
Democracia.
</blockquote>
Mr Da Silva received 50.9% of the vote and Mr Bolsonaro 49.1%, according to the country’s election authority, according to <a href="https://www.standard.co.uk/news/world/brazil-election-lula-president-jair-bolsonaro-result-vote-reaction-b1036329.html">Evening Standard. </a>
Meanwhile, hours after the results were in, and congratulations poured in from world leaders, Mr Bolsonaro had yet to publicly concede or react in any way.
Mr Bolsonaro’s campaign had made repeated, unproven claims of possible electoral manipulation before the vote, raising fears that, if he lost, he would not accept defeat and try to challenge the results.

Lula da Silva Defeats Bolsonaro To Win Presidential Elections In Brazil

A 32-year-old anaesthetist has been arrested in Brazil for allegedly raping a pregnant woman during a C-section and it is also believed he may have carried out attacks on two more mothers on the same day.
Giovanni Quintella Bezerra (32) was arrested on suspicion of rape after he was allegedly secretly filmed orally raping a woman after he heavily sedated her at a hospital in Brazil.
The woman’s husband was told to leave the room and only found out about what had happened to his wife when he recognised the doctor on television after his arrest.
<a href="https://g1.globo.com/rj/rio-de-janeiro/noticia/2022/07/11/anestesista-e-preso-em-flagrante-por-estupro-de-paciente-no-hospital-da-mulher-no-rj.ghtml">Brazilian newspaper Globo</a> reports that the woman told her family she thought she was having a hallucination at the time of the sexual attack.
Hospital staff were reportedly worried about the volumes of drugs Bezerra was giving to his patients as the mothers would be unable to hold their babies after delivery.
Suspicious staff members fitted a secret camera to see what he was up to and were horrified to see him sexually assaulting the woman for almost 10 minutes.
Staff members who recorded the rape said the doctor had already carried out two similar procedures that day, with police investigating whether those two women were also victims of the attack.
In most C-sections, the woman is not fully sedated during the procedure, but the women who went under the knife earlier in the day said they were fully unconscious during the procedure.
The doctor was earlier transferred to the prison of Benfica facing charges of rape with a prison sentence ranging from eight to 15 years in Brazil.

A 32-year-old Doctor Arrested For Raping A Woman Giving Birth

A Harare magistrate has jailed a Brazilian drug dealer Karoline Silver Mafra (23) for seven years after she was convicted of unlawfully dealing with dangerous drugs.
Mafra was jointly charged with two locals, Patience Murinda (32) and her husband Slegfriend Zibusiso Ndlovu (33) who were also slapped with a seven-year jail term.
Harare magistrate Ignatio Mhene suspended two years of the trio’s sentence on the condition of good behaviour.
<h2>What transpired:</h2>
Mafra and her colleagues were arrested last April at Robert Gabriel Mugabe International Airport after the police received information that the Brazilian was coming to Zimbabwe with drugs.
The couple was at the airport as they were instructed by a Nigerian individual by the name of Bobby to pick up Mafra who was flying in from Brazil.
<a href="https://www.newzimbabwe.com/just-in-brazilian-drug-peddler-and-a-local-couple-caged-seven-years-each-after-being-caught-with-heroin/">NewZimbabwe.com</a> reports that the couple was interviewed by the detectives and they led them to their place of residence where the detectives discovered 7 fabric samples from their bedroom.
In-between each fabric sample, there was a transparent plastic which after thorough examination the detectives discovered that it was heroin and they seized it.
The seven seized sachets of heroin were worth over ZW$1.6 million.

Brazilian Drug Dealer, Zimbabwean Couple Arrested And Jailed

The Brazilian government is expelling the International Monetary Fund (IMF)’s representative office in the country after complaints about the institution’s economic forecasts.
Brazil’s finance minister, Paulo Guedes, the government had told IMF “to forecast elsewhere.” Guedes said:
<blockquote>
It has been years since they were needed here. They stayed because they like feijoada [black bean and meat stew], football, good conversation and, from time to time, to criticise and make wrong predictions.
 From June 30 — when the current IMF representative is due to be replaced — Brazil will no longer recognise the institution’s office in Brasília.
</blockquote>
The fund said it had agreed to close the office by that date. 
The decision follows growing criticism from Guedes over the IMF’s forecasting in recent years, particularly last year during the height of the pandemic. 
He cited the fund’s estimate of a 9 per cent contraction in gross domestic product last year, which was considerably worse than the 4 per cent drop officially reported by the government. Said Guedes:
<blockquote>
If they want, they can keep their office, but we’re officially saying we don’t need to have them here anymore.
</blockquote>
A former fund manager from Rio de Janeiro, Guedes regularly accuses both foreigners — and Brazilians themselves — of talking down Latin America’s largest economy, which he says has entered a “V-shaped recovery” following the downturn caused by the pandemic. 
His ministry estimates that GDP will grow by more than 5 per cent this year and 2 per cent next year — a substantially rosier outlook than most economists who are forecasting stagnation or even recession in 2022. 
In the third quarter, the economy entered a recession as surging inflation damped growth.

Copa America: The Moment Gabriel Jesus Was Sent Off

A suspected foreign drug dealer was caught in possession of cocaine worth over ZWL$7 million, with 60 plastic sachets of the drug in her intestines.
The suspect, Sheila Khumalo had allegedly excreted 58 sachets of the drug while in police custody after being arrested on arrival at the Robert Gabriel Mugabe International Airport on Monday.
She was remanded in custody to 14 May and investigators are hoping that by then she would have excreted the two remaining sachets which are still in her intestines.
Investigating officer Aaron Muzondo told a Harare court that there is a need to monitor the suspect until she excretes the remaining two sachets.
The court was told that on 9 May, security officials received information to the effect that Khumalo was coming to Zimbabwe from Brazil with cocaine aboard an Ethiopian Airways flight and was expected to arrive at the Robert Gabriel Mugabe international airport.
On 10 May, a team of detectives from CID Drugs and Narcotics Harare, operatives from the Central Intelligence Organisation (CIO) and personnel from the Zimbabwe Revenue Authority (ZIMRA) manned the arrival section at the airport and intercepted the accused person.
A search was conducted on Khumalo’s luggage and on her person, leading to the recovery of 53 small white sachets with whitish powder stashed in a pair of black socks and also in her undergarments.
The seized cocaine has an approximate mass of 975 grams with a total value of ZWL$7 800 000.
Khumalo becomes the fourth foreigner to be arrested for the same crime in a space of about one month.

Foreigner Excretes 58 Sachets Of Cocaine While In Police Custody

A second Brazilian national was recently arrested at the Robert Gabriel Mugabe International Airport while carrying cocaine valued at US$32 million.
Guilherme Sodre Alverez da Silveria (32) was arrested a day after his compatriot, Karoline Silva Mafra (23) appeared in court for possessing the same dangerous drug worth US$1.9 million.
Silveria on Wednesday appeared before Harare magistrate Isheunesu Matova charged with possession of cocaine.
He is being represented by Knowledge Mayeresera. Matova remanded Silveria in custody to 21 April and advised him to apply for bail at the High Court.
Silveria was arrested on 5 April this year by detectives who were acting on a tip-off.
He had flown into the country aboard an Ethiopian Airlines flight in possession of the contraband, weighing 4.3kg.
Meanwhile, Mafra who is facing similar charges was nabbed on arrival at Robert Gabriel Mugabe International Airport on 1 April.

Brazilian National Arrested With $32m Worth Cocaine

A Brazilian national was on 2 April arrested at Robert Gabriel Mugabe International Airport for illegal possession of cocaine.
Caroline Silver Mafra (23), and her two local accomplices Patience Muringa (32), Siege Fried Zibusiso Dhlovu (33) were nabbed by detectives from the Criminal Investigation Department Drugs and Narcotics, Harare and the Homicide and Law and Order for illegal possession of 230 grammes of cocaine valued at $1 932 000.
The trio appeared before Harare magistrate Barbara Mateko who remanded them in custody and referred them to the High Court for bail application.
Allegations are that on 1 April, police got information that Mafra was flying to Zimbabwe from Brazil with contraband of cocaine aboard an Ethiopian Airlines flight.
The following day, police detectives set an ambush at the airport and intercepted Mafra.
Meanwhile, Murinda and Dhlovu arrived at the airport driving a BMW vehicle to pick her and they were also arrested.
The duo was supposed to accompany Mafra to a guest lodge in Marlborough, Harare, where she was booked and was supposed to give the drugs to a Nigerian national only identified as Boby.
Murinda and Dhlovu later led detectives to their home where a plastic bag that contained fabric and some powder substance was recovered from one of their bedrooms.

Edinho the son of football legend and Brazilian international, Pele has said that his father’s health has rapidly deteriorated.
Pele, considered one of the greatest footballers of all time, is reportedly unable to walk without other people’s help. Speaking to Edinho told TV Globo, Edinho said:
<blockquote>He’s pretty fragile. He had a hip replacement and didn’t have an adequate or ideal rehabilitation. So he has this problem with mobility and that has set off a kind of depression. Imagine, he’s the king, he was always such an imposing figure, and today he can’t walk properly.
He’s embarrassed, he doesn’t want to go out, be seen, or do practically anything that involves leaving the house. He is reclusive.</blockquote>
Pele will be turning 80 in October and has been in a wheelchair at all of his most recent public appearances. Many football players envy the “Samba Boy” for winning three World Cup Titles.

Zimbabwean millers will, from early next week, start to receive 50 000 of the 100 000 tonnes of commercial maize bought from Brazil.
This was revealed by the Grain Millers Association of Zimbabwe (GMAZ) chairperson <a href="https://www.pindula.co.zw/Tafadzwa_Musarara" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Tafadzwa Musarara</a> while addressing reporters in Bulawayo on Tuesday. He said:
<blockquote>We met with our key stakeholders, retailers and millers to discuss mealie meal shortages. Early December last year, the government decided to allow millers and other players to bring in maize into the country using free funds.
Since then, up to now, I am glad we have put mechanisms to have maize into the country. The country’s current demand for commercial (maize) use is 80 000 tonnes and we have signed up close to 100 000 tonnes with the immediate 50 000 starting to come early next week.</blockquote>
Musarara expressed hope that the procurement of the maize will result in the availability of mealie meal in the next three to five weeks, and thus kill the black market.
In December last year, the government authorised millers and other players to bring in maize into the country using their free funds.

Gabriel Jesus scored one goal and assisted another before being sent off as Brazil won a first Copa America title in 12 years, beating Peru 3-1.
The Manchester City striker set up Sousa Soares to volley in the opener (15′) before scoring the decisive second (45’+3).
Peru briefly sparked into life when Paolo Guerrero equalised (44′) from the penalty spot minutes before Jesus struck.
Jesus turned from hero to villain in the 70th minute when he was sent off after picking up a second yellow card, kicking a water bottle and then pushing over the VAR monitor as he left the pitch.
Everton striker, Richarlison sealed victory from the penalty spot (90′) after coming in as a late substitute for Roberto Firmino.
This was Brazil’s ninth title overall and came after beating arch-rivals Argentina in the semi-final.
The victory also maintained Brazil’s record of winning the Copa America every time they have hosted it.

Paris St-Germain striker Neymar da Silva Santos Júnior, commonly known as Neymar Jr. has been stripped of the Brazil captaincy for next month’s Copa America and will be replaced by his club teammate Dani Alves.
Neymar was elevated to the role eight months ago and was informed of the changes by national team manager Tite on Saturday.
The 27-year-old striker has recently faced a significant number of disciplinary issues.
This month, French football authorities banned Neymar for three matches after he hit a fan following PSG’s defeat by Rennes in the Coupe de France final.
He was also reportedly involved in a dressing room incident with his PSG team-mates.
The Copa America takes place in Brazil from 14 June to 7 July, with the hosts taking on Bolivia, Venezuela and Peru in Group A.
