Zimbabwe’s representatives in the CAF Confederation Cup, Dynamos, have opted to remain in Botswana rather than return home ahead of the second leg of their preliminary round clash against Orapa United this weekend.
Dynamos secured a 1-0 victory against Orapa United in the first leg, played at Obed Itani Chilume Stadium in Francistown last Sunday, with winger Valentine Kadonzvo coming off the bench to score the decisive goal.
As the away team, Dynamos is now looking to finish the job when they host Orapa United at the same venue on Sunday.
Due to the lack of approved stadiums for international matches—neither Rufaro, the National Sports Stadium, nor Barbourfields meets Confederation of African Football standards—Dynamos has been using facilities in Botswana for their home games.
Initially, the club planned to base itself in Bulawayo after the first leg, but officials reconsidered and decided to stay at a resort area in Francistown while training at a nearby facility.
Dynamos chairman Moses Maunganidze told The Herald on Tuesday that team morale is high as they prepare for the upcoming match. Said Maunganidze:
<blockquote>
We are leaving nothing to chance as a club. We really need to attend to all issues and make sure that every margin is taken care of.
Rather than travelling back to Bulawayo as per our initial plan, we decided to stay put in Botswana.
The team is staying at a resort and everything is going well.
Setting up base in Bulawayo would have been advantageous for us because we would have been training and living in familiar territory.
But we wanted to minimise movement as well and allow those with little knocks time to recover while relaxed.
We are training at the old stadium owned by the municipality which used to host all the matches played in Francistown before the homologation of the new stadium.
Everything is flowing and we are very happy as Dynamos. Hopefully, we will be able to pull through on Sunday.
The morale in the camp is high and all the players are eager to go out there and defend the badge.
The technical team is working on all the necessary facets of the game to make sure the troops remain focused and this includes mental and physical preparation.
</blockquote>
This season, the champions of the CAF Confederation Cup will receive US$2 million, while the runners-up will earn half that amount. Semi-finalists will take home US$750,000 each.
Clubs eliminated in the quarter-finals will each receive US$550,000, and teams that do not advance past the group stage will each earn US$400,000.

Dynamos, a team from Zimbabwe, won their first match against Orapa United in Botswana. Now they are staying in Botswana for the second match to make it easier to train and prepare. The team is in high spirits and focused on winning the next match. If they do well in the CAF Confederation Cup, they can win a lot of money. The team is working hard to make sure they are ready for the big game coming up. They are staying at a resort and training in a nearby facility to stay fit and ready.

Dynamos Remain In Botswana Ahead of CAF Showdown

Dynamos have clinched a deal with the Zimbabwe United Passenger Company (ZUPCO) that will see the parastatal providing transport for the club’s fans to home and away games during the 2023 Premier Soccer League (PSL) season.
According a statement released by the club, the special package will have its trial run this weekend before it is officially launched next week. Reads the statement:

The package which is set to be officially unveiled next week will have its trial run this Sunday when Dynamos Football Club and CAPS United Football Club meet in the Harare Derby Part 1 at the National Sports Stadium.
The fan package is part of the 60th anniversary celebrations which should afford the fans ease of transport to home and away games throughout the 2023 PSL season.
The package will see fans getting onto shuttle buses from designated pick up points around Harare, Norton, Chitungwiza and Domboshawa will take the fans to and from the National Sports Stadium and or Rufaro Stadium, once the ceremonial home of Zimbabweans football is ready to host football matches.
The return trip will cost $2 and fans will pay the fare in advance through their fan chapters.
Packages for trips outside of Harare will be announced soon. 
The fans are however encouraged to regularize their membership with their fan chapters and will always be bound by the general code of conduct of the fan chapters during the trips.
The trial run for the travel package will see two buses deployed to Chitungwiza with a bus made available for Epworth.
Pick up points and times for the two fan chapters will be communicated through the respective fan chapters .
More buses will be deployed soon after the Harare Derby to ferry the fans back to selected destinations in Harare.
More details will be communicated through the national fan chapters’ leadership.
</blockquote>

ZUPCO To Ferry Dynamos Fans To Matches

Dynamos on Sunday moved to the top of the Castle Lager Premier Soccer League (PSL) table after beating top-flight debutants Sheasham 4-0 at the National Sports Stadium.
DeMbare scored three goals before the half-time break and added a fourth late in the second half.
The two opening goals were gifts delivered by Sheasham defender Zivanai Chikwenhere.
Chikwenhere beat his own goalkeeper Liberty Chirava at the near post from a corner kick three minutes into the match and again with a misplaced backpass on the half-hour mark.
DeMbare captain Frank Makarati converted from the penalty spot in the 34th minute after Arnold Dirau had fouled Tendai Matindife inside the box.
The Glamour Boys’ top goalscorer in 2022 Emmanuel Paga stretched to convert in the 84th minute following a delivery from substitute Eli Ilunga.
Dynamos could have had far more than their four goals considering their dominance in the first half.
The Glamour Boys are now top of the log on goal difference as FC Platinum also have six points from two matches.
Dynamos coach Herbert Maruwa expressed satisfaction with both the result and the performance. He said:
<blockquote>
It was a massive game, we managed to get an early goal which eased some nerves.
They (Sheasham) had a game plan. They congested the midfield, so we realised that and we started by-passing the area.
So they ended up making a lot of mistakes at the back and we capitalised. So far so good, we are taking one game at a time.
It’s good for our football when you see fans coming back. Now we need to make sure we play good football to entertain them.
</blockquote>
In other matches played on Sunday, Yadah lost 1-2 to Hwange, while Manica Diamonds and Triangle United drew 0-0.

Dynamos Put Four Past Premiership Debutants Sheasham

Dynamos have appointed Desmond Mhene as a data analyst. He will use data to help players and the technical team deliver success on the pitch.
Mhene was working behind the scenes when Dynamos claimed four titles in a row during Calisto Pasuwa’s tenure with the Glamour Boys.
Pasuwa also took Mhene to Malawi where he won four league titles on the bounce with Nyasa Big Bullets.
Mhene told <a href="https://www.hmetro.co.zw/dembare-appoint-data-analyst/">H-Metro</a> he has worked with Dynamos head coach Herbert Maruwa in the past and believes their friendship will help them bring success to the club. He said:
<blockquote>
I have worked with Maruwa before and besides, we are friends, we understand each other and that will make my job easier.
I’m here to show what I can do and my wish is to see Dynamos win the championship.
Everyone is pulling in one direction and it’s very encouraging because it shows we are speaking with one voice.
</blockquote>

Dynamos Appoint Data Analyst

Dynamos reportedly spent more than US$140 000 on new signings last season but failed to win a single piece of silverware.
Dynamos are bankrolled by Sakunda Holdings and the energy company’s funds enabled DeMbare to recruit more than seven players, including three more foreigners.
In fact, the Glamour Boys had five foreigners on their books, the highest by a local Premiership team last term.
The five were Cameroonian Albert Eonde and Ghanaian Sylvester Appiah plus the three who were signed last season, that is, Alex Orotomal of Nigeria as well as the Ghana duo of Emmanuel Paga and Martin Ofori.
The Herald reported a source as saying that Dynamos’ failure to win a single trophy last season after spending a lot of money on new players led to the sacking of executive chairman, Isaiah Mupfurutsa, and head coach, Tonderai Ndiraya. Said the source:
<blockquote>
I can tell you that the club (Dynamos) spent more than US$140 000 in bringing in new recruits last season.
It’s a huge amount, especially considering that the team failed to win any silverware.
Obviously, something had to give. People have been saying Ndiraya deserved some more time at Dynamos and they were a bit justified if one looks at the bigger picture.
But after he had pressed the management that the team should sign so and so players for such hefty amounts and then failing to deliver, he had to be sacrificed.
It was actually a contested decision but after looking at such things, everyone agreed that it was time he paved the way for others.
That is the same thing that happened to Mupfurutsa. He was the head of the executive and the leadership felt he had been given sufficient time and support at the helm and still failed to deliver any silverware.

"Dynamos Spent US$140 000 On New Signings"

Black Rhinos have castigated Dynamos for their “big brother attitude” after they reportedly offered a contract to striker Eli Ilunga, who is still on the army side’s books.
Speaking to NewsDay, Black Rhinos secretary-general Colonel Edward Mutukwa said Dynamos should learn to respect other clubs. He said:
<blockquote>
They are exhibiting a big brother attitude which we find annoying.
Granted, Eli’s contract is expiring at the end of the year, but they (Dynamos) should have had the courtesy to contact us.
But what did they do, they went ahead and negotiated with the player and even offered him a contract.
They have already signed a pre-contract agreement with the player. It shows they are disrespectful to the institution called Black Rhinos, which is very unfortunate.
The problem is we have teams that think Black Rhinos is a training ground for them. We are not.
</blockquote>
Rhinos signed Ilunga as a free agent after he was deemed surplus to requirements at FC Platinum in 2020.
His career was reinvigorated at Rhinos and he scored 11 goals for the club last. He finished fourth in the race for the Golden Boot award, which was eventually won by William Manondo of CAPS United.
Col. Mutukwa said they had withheld December salaries for players who had signed pre-contract agreements with other clubs. He said:
<blockquote>
We are not paying salaries for players who are in pre-contractual agreements with other clubs.
These players should learn to respect the institutions to which they are attached.
They are being misled by the so-called player agents, most of who can’t even afford to buy soccer boots for the players.
Ilunga flopped at FC Platinum and we took him in, loved him and gave him a chance and is this how he want to thank us? We are not happy at all.
</blockquote>
Ilunga is being managed by former Dynamos goalkeeper Ephraim Mazarura.
He has already approached the Footballers Union of Zimbabwe (FUZ) to force Black Rhinos to release his December salary. | <a href="https://www.newsday.co.zw/sport/article/200004733/dembare-target-rhinos-players">NewsDay</a>

Black Rhinos Castigate Dynamos Over Reported Eli Ilunga Pre-contract Offer

The secretary-general of the Dynamos Football Club Development Committee, Vincent Chawonza, has resigned from his position with immediate effect.
Chawonza will now focus on the sponsorship and development of junior football. His resignation letter to Dynamos reads in part:
<blockquote>
I would like to tender my resignation as the secretary-general of the Dynamos Football Club Development Committee with immediate effect.
I will be available to assist the club in any other way if need be. I would like to thank the Dynamos family for according me the opportunity to work with one of the biggest clubs in the country.
I will always cherish those moments when we worked together.
Future engagements are an inevitable possibility.
</blockquote>
Chawonza recently sponsored the ZIFA Harare Province Open Gold Trophy won by BN Academy.
He also pledged to sponsor other organised junior tournaments countrywide. | <a href="https://www.hmetro.co.zw/dembare-boss-quits/">H-Metro</a>

Vincent Chawonza Quits Dynamos

Dynamos have reportedly interviewed three potential candidates to replace head coach Tonderai Ndiraya whose contract will not be renewed when it expires on 31 December.
<a href="https://www.newsday.co.zw/sport/article/200004053/dembare-target-maruwa-for-coach">NewsDay</a> reported a source as saying the club’s top target, <a href="https://www.pindula.co.zw/Herbert_Maruwa">Herbert Maruwa</a>, and two others including a Zambian national were interviewed in the last two weeks. Said the source:
<blockquote>
We have had a lot of CVs coming in and the process of identifying a suitable candidate has started.
We have had interviews with three potential candidates so far and it is still an ongoing process.
We are being cautious about it all because we are looking for a coach who will do better than what we did this year.
We want a coach who has the potential to align with our objectives, so the process is going on and we will announce the full technical team once we are done. That should be at the start of December.
</blockquote>
Dynamos spokesperson Tinashe Farawo on Thursday dismissed claims that Maruwa had already been given the job and will be assisted by Genesis Mangombe, Lloyd Chigowe, and Murape Murape. He said:
<blockquote>
Those are reports that we are just reading in the newspaper and to be quite honest I don’t know where they are emanating from.
There are internal processes that are going on and once we are done, we will announce the new head coach.
We will announce very soon, because like I have said before, we don’t want to create a vacuum.
We need a coach as soon as possible so that he can start preparations for the new season. 
There are a lot of things that need to start happening including the recruitment of players.
We want the new head coach to be in charge of recruiting his players as well as his assistants.
We don’t want a situation where the coach will complain that people were imposed on him.
</blockquote>
Maruwa was part of coach Kalisto Pasuwa’s backroom staff when the team won four consecutive league titles from 2011 to 2014.

Dynamos Target Herbert Maruwa As Coach | Report

Newly-appointed Dynamos chairman Moses Maunganidze says the club has enough resources and adequate structures to challenge for trophies in the upcoming 2023 season.
Maunganidze, who replaced Isaiah Mupfurutsa last Friday, said the Dynamos leadership was aware of fans’ thirst for trophies and promised the club will fight for the Premier Soccer League (PSL) title next season. Said Maunganidze:
<blockquote>
We are aware of the sentiments and expectations of the fans. It’s true we have gone for a long time without winning the title. We tried our best in the just-ended season but we came third eventually.
But remember we were coming from worse positions, so we are hoping to build on that improvement and compete for the title next season.
The resources are there and the structures are there. In terms of planning, we are good to go. We all understand that Dynamos’ philosophy is all about winning trophies.
There is always pressure at Dynamos and we are ready to face it.
</blockquote>
The Glamour Boys have now gone eight years without winning silverware.
Dynamos is Zimbabwe’s most successful club having won 22 Premiership league titles.

New Dynamos Chairman Moses Maunganidze Promises Brighter Days Ahead

Dynamos Football Club has resolved not to renew head coach Tonderai Ndiraya’s contract when it expires on 31 December.
In a statement issued on Tuesday, 15 November, Dynamos said they will always remember the work Ndiraya did for the club first as a player and then as a coach. Reads the statement by Dynamos:
<blockquote>
Dynamos Football Club announces that head coach Tonderai Ndiraya’s contract with the club will not be renewed after its expiry on the 31st of December 2022.
It is with regret that we have reached this difficult decision but Ndiraya will always be remembered for his contribution to Dynamos both as a player and a coach.
However, this development does not dwarf the work Ndiraya has done in the last few years to rebuild Dynamos and position it for long-term success.
Ndiraya remains a Dynamos son whose loyalty to the club has never been doubted. We wish Ndiraya all the best in his future endeavours.
</blockquote>
Stanza, as Ndiraya is referred to by DeMbare fans, replaced Lloyd “Mablanyo” Chigove in 2019.
While Dynamos did not reveal the reasons why they decided to part ways with Ndiraya, the youthful coach failed to win a single trophy despite oil company Sakunda Holdings bankrolling the Harare giants.
The Glamour Boys failed to reach the Chibuku Super Cup final and finished third in the Premier Soccer League and this may explain the DeMbare hierarchy’s decision to not renew Ndiraya’s contract.

Ndiraya To Leave Dynamos, Club Announces

Dynamos coach Tonderai Ndiraya said that his squad has made significant progress this season and will be ready to challenge for the Castle Lager Premier Soccer League title next season.
The Glamour Boys were knocked out of the Chibuku Super Cup by FC Platinum after losing 4-2 on penalties at the quarterfinal stage.
DeMbare were beaten to the title by eventual winners FC Platinum, who won it for the fourth time in a row.
Ndiraya explained that the Dynamos couldn’t fight for the title this season because most of the players were new to the club and needed time to adjust to the “pressure” of playing for the club. He said:
<blockquote>
For most of the guys, it’s their first full season with us and it’s extremely difficult for most of them to handle the pressure.
But I am happy that with that pressure, the team has done extremely well. It has been a learning curve for some of them.
You know how it is with our team. It’s difficult because of pressure. But going forward, I guess most of them would know what it is to play for Dynamos and the pressure associated with the team.
It is about handling the pressure associated with our team. Of course, some of them I thought they handled the pressure quite well.
Otherwise, it was going to be disastrous. Despite getting nothing out of the season, I think we must also give it up to those players who joined us this year — quite a number of them – for the show they put up.
Of course the expectations were so high but you can’t assemble a team in one season and win the title.
Football is a process and we are in the process of building a team. It’s my feeling that if we retain most of the players that we have and add a few in the areas that need to be reinforced, the team will be strong next year and will be up for competition.
</blockquote>
Dynamos are currently in third place with 57 points, three behind second-placed Chicken Inn with one match to the end of the season.
Their final game of the season is against cross-town rivals CAPS United and will be hoping that Chicken Inn fall to Triangle, which will place both teams on 60 points.
If that happens, Dynamos will finish in second place as they have a superior goal difference compared to the Gamecocks. | <a href="https://www.newsday.co.zw/sport/article/200003232/ndiraya-asks-for-more-time">NewsDay</a>

Dynamos Ready To Challenge For Title Next Season - Ndiraya

The much-anticipated Castle Lager Premier Soccer League match between FC Platinum and Dynamos ended goalless at Mandava Stadium on Saturday afternoon.
This was the first meeting between the two clubs since the Chibuku Super Cup semi-finals at Baobab Stadium which FC Platinum won 1-0 en route to winning the title.
In the early stages of the match, Petros Mhari denied Evans Katema after he connected Emmanuel Paga’s cross.
FC Platinum followed up with a quick counter-attack, but Brian Banda failed to finish the move.
DeMbare dominated possession for long spells afterwards and created a couple of big chances with captain Patson Jaure failing to beat Mhari in a 1-v-1 in the 23rd minute.
Ralph Kawondera also had a shot at goal but was denied by Mhari. The game went to the break with both times tied at 0-0.
The second half followed a similar pattern to the first but things became heated up towards the hour mark.
Match officials were forced to stop the match for about five minutes after FC Platinum fans clashed with their Dynamos counterparts.
Both sides seemed to retreat and continued concentrating the play in the midfield with just flashes of attacks on either end.
The biggest chance of the match was to fall to FC Platinum’s Thando Ngwenya in the 75th minute but he blasted his effort over from a few yards out.
The scoreline remained unchanged, and the game finished goalless.

FC Platinum, Dynamos In Goalless Draw

Dynamos coach Tonderai Ndiraya has expressed satisfaction over the clubs’ recent transfer business and believes the club is now capable of fighting for titles.
Chazunguza signed eight players this window, namely Ralph Kawondera, Keith Murera, Brandon Mpofu, Evans Katema, Issa Sadiki as well as three foreigners that include two Ghanaians, Emmanuel Paga and Martin Ofori; and Nigerian Alex Orotomal.
Ndiraya said the new signings will improve DeMbare’s strikeforce after the club struggled for goals in their first three matches of the new season.
Dynamos beat Yadah and Bullets by an identical 1-0 goal margin and lost 0-1 to Triangle in their first three matches of the new season last year. Said Ndiraya:
<blockquote>
I can safely say that we have done good business during this transfer window and we now have a team that can fight for honours.
The quality that we have added has really improved our teams and with more games, we expect an improved performance in all departments. Our biggest strength the last term was the defence.
But we were a bit concerned about our goalkeeping department which we continue to bolster and then of course the offensive department. We didn’t have many goal scorers.
If you look at our charts our top striker was Albert Eonde with two goals. I think (midfielder) Shadreck Nyahwa had more goals than our strikers.
That really pushed us to go into the market and look for strikers who can score for the team.
I believe those we have brought in can do the job but recruiting is one thing, then training them and playing is another. So we are hoping for the best.

Ndiraya Says Dynamos Squad Can Now Fight For Titles

FC Platinum coach Norman Mapeza has described Dynamos as a “massive club” ahead of a Castle Lager Premiership football match against the Glamour Boys at Mandava Stadium on Saturday afternoon.
The platinum miners would naturally want to immediately bounce back to winning ways following the defeat away to Bulawayo Chiefs last weekend.
Speaking ahead of the match against Dembare which has been brought forward to 1 PM kick-off, Mapeza said:
<blockquote>
It’s a massive game for us as a club. As you know Dynamos, they are who they are; a massive club in the country and we have so much respect for them.
They have got a rich history in Zimbabwean football but at the end of the day, it’s a game of football.
If you look at our past records, I think they have been the dominant side but this is a different ball game altogether now, a new season.
</blockquote>
FC Platinum and Dynamos last met in the Chibuku Super Cup semi-finals at Baobab Stadium, with the former winning 1-0 en route to winning the title.
Reflecting on the loss to Bulawayo Chiefs last weekend, Mapeza said he wasn’t really disappointed by the loss. He said:
<blockquote>
I wasn’t really disappointed that we lost to Chiefs because of circumstances that were beyond our control.
But I was happy with our performance and with four-five games to come, I think everybody will be in good condition to perform better.
There were some situations where I think we did very well against Chiefs but also there were some moments that I think we could have done better in terms of our defending.
We conceded two goals in the first half in the space of 15 minutes and then in the second half, it happened again.
So tomorrow (today) it’s all about maximum concentration because if we are going to concede early it will be difficult for us.
</blockquote>
FC Platinum has released several senior players, among them Silas Songani, Stanley Ngala, Rahman Kutsanzira, Kelvin Madzongwe, Donald Ngoma, Rodwell Chinyengetere, Denzel Khumalo, Donald Dzvinyai and Ralph Kawondera.
Mapeza however, retained experienced players like Gift Mbweti, Rainsome Pavari, Donald Teguru while Walter Musona returned from South Africa.
Young players on FC Platinum’s books include the likes of Panashe Mutimbanyoka, Oscar Bhebhe, Kelvin Mangiza, Thando Ngwenya, Hagiazo Magaya and Nigerian Abubakar Onifadeh.

Match Against Dynamos 'Massive' - Mapeza

Former Zimbabwe Premier Soccer League champions Dynamos have completed the signing of two Ghanaian strikers and a Nigerian.
On Thursday, Chazunguza signed Emmanuel Paga and Martin Ofori, both from Ghana, and Nigerian, Alext Orotomal.
The club already has two West African players on its books – Sylvester Appiah of Ghana and Cameroonian Albert Eonde.
DeMbare has also recruited Ralph Kawondera, Brendon Mpofu and Evans Katema and it is understood that the club is keen on recruiting more players. Dynamos coach Tonderai Ndiraya said:
<blockquote>
We have identified several players locally and abroad. We are now in talks with some of those we think can come and join us.
We will be making those signings in the coming weeks. We need to be competitive again as a team and make our fans happy.
</blockquote>
The Glamour Boys have also been linked with former FC Platinum midfielder, Last Jesi, Ghanaian Martin Ofori and Junior Makunike, who is the son of the late CAPS United legend, Blessing.
Dynamos and Highlanders are being sponsored by Sakunda Holdings and are in line for a huge windfall if they win the league title in the current season which resumes on 12 February.

Dynamos Sign Three West African Players

Dynamos head coach Tonderai Ndiraya is pleased with the high morale in the dressing room following a cash injection from Sakunda Holdings, that will cater for players’ salaries.
The Glamour Boys kicked off training in preparation for the resumption of the aborted Chibuku Super Cup competition over a week ago.
The atmosphere in the DeMbare camp has impressed Ndiraya who attributes it to the injection of cash by the energy firm. Said Ndiraya:
<blockquote>
The mood is generally good. The lifeline given to the team by Sakunda Holdings has given the players and technical team hope of an improvement in their welfare.
</blockquote>
Dynamos has in the past clashed with players over issues of salaries, bonuses as well as signing-on fees on several occasions.
Sakunda unveiled a sponsorship package of US$5,3 million for the two biggest football clubs Dynamos and Highlanders.
The two clubs will receive US$900 000 per year which will go towards salaries, bonuses and signing-on fees. The deal is for three seasons starting this month.
The structure of the agreement will see Sakunda Holdings providing US$420 000 towards the payment of salaries for playing staff and the technical team.
Each club will also receive US$60 000 each year for signing-on fees.

Sakunda Cash Injection Boosts Dynamos Players' Morale

Dynamos have written to Zimbabwe Football Association (ZIFA) seeking facilitation of conferment of national hero status on the late George “Mastermind” Shaya who passed on yesterday.
Five-time Soccer Star of the year Shaya set the bar of football achievements so high that the record he set has not been breached to date. He came tops in 1969, 1972, 1975, 1976 and 1977.
The request for the national hero status is premised on George Shaya representing the rise of black national consciousness and nationalism through his football genius, artistry and prowess during his playing days spanning 1968 to the late 70s.
He was part of the black generation that used football to express their wish for self-determination, racial parity, justice and independence during the Unilateral Declaration of Independence era in Rhodesia.
Shaya demonstrated that blacks were not as inferior to their white compatriots as portrayed by the Rhodesia Front government by getting a national call up into the Rhodesia national football team that played Australia in 1969, in the FIFA World Cup Qualifiers.
The star-studded Rhodesia team had both white and black players drawn from the elite football clubs of Rhodesia.
Mastermind asserted “black power” through football by winning the coveted Soccer Star of The Year award in 1969, the year when the award was inaugurated in Rhodesia.
As if that were not enough, he went on to win the award a record five times, a feat which no other player has done to date.
The late was an entertainer par excellence as he shone in both club and national team colours during his trailblazing football career which saw him being honoured by the Sports and Recreation Commission by being inducted into the Hall of Fame.
Dembare hopes that Shaya gets conferment of national hero status because of what his talent represented at a time of oppression.

Dynamos Seek Hero Status For George Shaya

Former Soccer Star of the Year and former Dynamos midfielder Tawanda Mparati had a stroke that left him incapacitated early this year and is yet to fully regain mobility.
Mparati (37), suffered a cerebrovascular accident on April 19 and the stroke affected his left side and his ability to walk and hold things.
The stroke was triggered by hypertension, his doctor, said. Mparati is now undergoing rehabilitation at home and can now move, a little bit, around his yard.
The former DeMbare star lives with his wife Wendy and their three sons at their home, in Rugare.
Mparati told The Herald on Friday that he requires professional help, to assist in the recovery of function and mobility, and his rehabilitation has come with huge medical costs.
His wife takes care of him and when she is at work during the day, his boys attend to him. The eldest, Tatenda, is 12. Said Mparati:
<blockquote>I am now on hypertension medication since I suffered the stroke. The doctor said my BP was very high when I had the attack.
When I suffered the stroke, I couldn’t walk, for close to a month but now, at least, I can walk around the house, on my own.
I am feeling better, though, sometimes I experience pain on my left side, especially my hand.</blockquote>
Mparati won the league with Dynamos, their third in a row, as the Glamour Boys won four titles, on the bounce.
He last played for a club, in the lower division, owned by sportscaster Barry Manandi.
Manandi and his friend, Mike Madoda, now own Division One club, Golden Eagles.
He said Manandi has been playing a big part, in his recovery, and paid most of the hospital bills.
Since Mparati suffered the stroke, no officials from his former club, Dynamos, have set foot at his home.
His former teammate, Patson Jaure, is among the few football people, who have cared to pay him a visit.

Dynamos Legend, Tawanda Mparati, Battles Stroke

Dynamos Football Club have tied down captain Partson Jaure to a new deal putting to bed the uncertainty surrounding his future at the club.
Jaure rejoined DeMbare ahead of the 2020 season from Manica Diamonds, but his contract is understood to have run out last year before he had played for the club.
Dynamos communications manager Yvonne Mangunda on Friday confirmed that Jaure had signed a new deal. She told NewsDay:
<blockquote>He (Jaure) signed a contract just before the Independence Day celebrations and that is all I can say.</blockquote>
Goalkeeper Simba Chinani who had been dismissed by the club is also understood to have committed himself to the Glamour Boys as they prepare for the restart of the game.
The Premier Soccer League (PSL) is expected to start next month in a phased approach, starting with a pre-season tournament.
Domestic football had been on hold since March last year due to COVID-19-induced lockdown.

Dynamos Captain Partson Jaure Pens Fresh Contract

Dynamos have suspended goalkeepers’ coach Gift Muzadzi while first-choice goalkeeper Simbarashe Chinani has been shown the exit door.
Dynamos marketing and communications manager Yvonne Mangunda confirmed the suspension of Muzadzi to Daily News and the release of Chinani but declined to shed more light. Said Mangunda:
<blockquote>Chinani did not have a contract with Dynamos since 2020 because he indicated his plans and the club respected that. We then decided not to offer him a contract.
Muzadzi has been suspended and internal disciplinary processes are ongoing.</blockquote>
Reports suggest that DeMbare are yet to tie down their senior players like skipper Partson Jaure, Godknows Murwira and King Nadolo to fresh contracts.
The Glamour Boys have already lost influential defender Byron Madzokere, who is reportedly close to signing for ZPC Kariba.
Madzokere’s one-year contract had expired and Dynamos and the player could not agree on the terms of a new contract.
Daily News reports a source as saying Muzadzi and Chinani were pulled aside during training at Prince Edward School and handed their letters by the club hierarchy. The source said:
<blockquote>From the look of things though, it appears the executive was not pleased with some of Muzadzi’s comments to the club’s board chairperson (Bernard) Marriot when he went to see him over the issue of out-of-contract players — Chinani, Jaure, Murwira and Nadolo.
These players are out of contract and the executive took a strange decision not to pay players signing-on fees for the upcoming season.
So, these players are trying to negotiate, saying they should at least get something rather than just signing a new contract.
It appears the executive was not amused with Muzadzi’s conduct on the issue. Regarding Chinani, the executive was miffed when he went for trials in Russia and South Africa.
He was out of contract and the feeling is that he wanted to leave for free so they are not happy with him.</blockquote>

Dynamos’ Preparations For The 2021 Season In Disarray

Dynamos coach Tonderai Ndiraya reckons that it will be a sad scenario for premier league football to return to empty stadiums.
Local football was suspended over a year ago when the coronavirus hit the country and plans are underway for football to return, albeit without fans in stadiums.
Yesterday Dynamos officials, led by their board chairman Bernard Marriot, the executive members and technical staff, underwent COVID-19 tests and also took the vaccination at Wilkins Infectious Diseases Hospital in Harare.
Speaking to The Herald on Friday, Ndiraya said he was excited by the imminent return of football but it was going to be difficult to play in empty stadiums. Said Ndiraya:
<blockquote>It’s going to be really difficult, we are used to our fans, we are used to being pushed by our fans.
However, this is the situation we find ourselves in, we just have to soldier on, without our fans.
It’s really going to be a sad scenario but what can we do?
This is Covid-19 we are talking about, it a deadly animal, so we just have to comply.
But, it’s going to be difficult.
It’s unfortunate that the new players, we have brought in, are really going to start their business at Dynamos, without the fans, and that is really going to be difficult for them.
I can imagine the time they will then play before our multitude of fans, the atmosphere is quite different, so, it’s unfortunate but this is Dynamos.</blockquote>
DeMbare recently announced the signing of five players, who include Trevor Mavhunga, Frank Makarati, Tinashe Makanda, Newman Sianchali and Luke Musikiri.

It Will Be A Sad Scenario Playing Without Fans, Says Ndiraya

President Emmerson Mnangagwa Friday hosted the Dynamos board and executive at State House.
The Dynamos delegation consisted of board chairperson Bernard Marriott Lusengo, club patron Webster Shamu, club secretary Webster Marechera, chief executive Jonathan Mashingaidze, chairperson Isaiah Mupfurutsa and marketing and communications manager Yvonne Mangunda.
Speaking to the Daily News after the meeting, Mangunda who doubles as the club’s spokesperson said they informed Mnangagwa of the progress the club has made as a business and also challenges emanating from the coronavirus crisis. Said Mangunda:
<blockquote>We had a good time with his Excellency at the State House who took his time to have a meeting with us.
We were there to present to him the progress that we have made so far in terms of club business and the challenges we are currently facing due to the COVID-19 pandemic.
We discussed the challenges that are affecting the club for instance the problems that affect junior development, attainment of assets and the challenges affecting the club from attaining a CAF licence.</blockquote>
During the meeting, the DeMbare delegation also presented a Number-One (1) replica jersey to the president as well as a lion sculptor which resembles his totem.
The meeting came about a month after Mnangagwa met with Highlanders FC leadership where he pledged to help the club in their mining venture.

ED Hosts Dynamos At State House

Former Dynamos coach Lloyd ‘Mablanyo’ Chigowe says saving Dynamos from relegation is one of his greatest achievements in his managerial career, <a href="https://www.soccer24.co.zw/2020/06/01/mablanyo-lists-saving-dynamos-from-relegation-among-his-achievements-in-coaching/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Soccer24</a> reports.
Chigowe made the revelation when he was profiled by Dugout, a publication which covers the Northern Region Division One.
Chigowe, who is now in charge of Northern Region Division One side Black Tigers, was appointed coach of Dynamos on an interim basis in September 2017.
He replaced his namesake Lloyd Mutasa at a time when DeMbare was struggling and fighting to avoid the chop.
He had seven games to save the Glamour Boys from the drop and did so with three games to spare, in a run which included a Harare derby victory over bitter rivals CAPS United.
The coach would be given the Dynamos job on a permanent basis the following season but did not last long as he was sacked for poor results.
Chigowe expressed bitterness over his sacking from Dynamos, saying it was unfair for a coach to be fired three games into a new season. He said then:
<blockquote>How can a coach be fired after just three games that did not go as planned? You can’t judge a coach after three games when the season has just started considering the kind of preparations that the team had ahead of the new season?
From deep down my heart, I know that I got a raw deal because I was fired at a time a lot of things were not right at Dynamos.
All things being equal, no one should have expected the team to hit the ground running following the kind of preparations we had.</blockquote>

Saving DeMbare From Relegation One Of My Major Achievements - Mablanyo

Black Rhinos striker Tawanda Macheka says Dynamos’ new signings are expected to perform right away and deliver instant results.
The 23-year-old is one of the many players who joined Dynamos in 2016 but could not live up to expectations.
Macheke played at Dembare first under Lloyd Mutasa, then under Biggie Zuze, Lloyd Chigowe and Tonderai Ndiraya before leaving the club for the army side. He said:
<blockquote>There is no time for you to try and adapt to the system. You need to just come, perform and get results.
But most of the guys had never played Premiership football before, or for a big club like Dynamos, so they needed time to adjust and to gel but that cannot happen at DeMbare.
If you come to Dynamos, they assume that you are ready to play and deliver.
Dynamos just need someone who is ready, not someone who wants to develop because they always want results.</blockquote>
Macheka is best remembered for his cheeky rabona pass after he had come on as a second-half substitute in the tense Harare Derby against CAPS United at the National Sports Stadium almost three years ago.
Last year, he graduated with an honours degree in Development Studies from the Midlands State University.

'At DeMbare, You're Not Given Time To Develop'

Dynamos coach Tonderai Ndiraya said the club has launched investigations into reports that some players are engaging in dawn training sessions that involve full contact in violation of the 21-day national lockdown rules.
Speaking to NewsDay on Wednesday, Ndiraya said DeMbare players were given individual training programmes that they must follow during the stay-at-home period and those who violated the restrictions will be punished. Said Ndiraya:
<blockquote>We gave our players individual training programmes that they must follow during this lockdown.
I have asked someone and have been told that the players do morning training sessions from around 5am, but the problem is that we do not allow them to engage in full-contact matches, so we are investigating on our side and some people could be punished.</blockquote>
Reports indicate that players from several Premier Soccer League clubs, among them Dynamos, Harare City, Ngezi Platinum Stars, Triangle, Cranborne Bullets and Black Rhinos, have been training in groups at the break of dawn to keep fit ahead of the 2020 season.
Meanwhile, the nation is eagerly waiting and wondering what will happen when the 21-day lockdown lapses on Sunday, with clubs hoping to return to training next week in preparation for the new season.

DeMbare Investigating Players For Alleged Lockdown Violation

Patson Jaure’s discharge from hospital to continue his recovery from home has lifted Dembare spirits, The Standard reports. According to the team doctor, Jaure is still expected to fully recover in 12 weeks after another scan showed he had no brain injury.
Speaking about the footballer, DeMbare team doctor Robert Musara said:
<blockquote>He was discharged from hospital and I must say the progress that has been made so far is quite pleasing.  He will continue his recovery from home and today he is supposed to go and see one of the doctors treating him.
The expected timeline of his recovery has not changed, we are looking at him having fully-recovered and back in training in about 12 weeks. He had a second CT scan and it showed that his brain was not affected so we are looking at his jaws and head injury getting healed so that he can be back in the training in about 12 weeks.</blockquote>
Jaure was involved in an accident two weeks ago and he was in hospital for over 3 weeks where he underwent a delicate head injury. Dynamos also revealed they will take the time the country is in lockdown to make sure one of its players’ knee is attended to.

Dembare Optimistic To Have Jaure Back In The Game In 12 Weeks

Dembare’s skipper <a href="https://www.pindula.co.zw/Patson_Jaure">Patson Jaure</a>‘s football career remains uncertain after the football star was involved in an accident last week and had to undergo a delicate surgery to mend his fractured skull, The Chronicle reports.
A sports medical expert spoke to the publication and said:
<blockquote>It’s early days yet. His ability to get back to the field can only be determined after he has fully recovered and the return to rehabilitation starts, but for now its really difficult to say with certainty that he will play again. We are all praying and hoping for the best.
We have seen medical miracles, anything is possible and at the moment I can only pray, just like everyone, that Jaure gets back to the field. Head injuries are sensitive in their nature, but we are taking solace in that the operation itself was a success. Basing on that, we remain hopeful, although I cannot put my head on the block.</blockquote>
Jaure is out of the ICU and was said to be <a href="https://zero.pindula.co.zw/jaure-recovering-after-undergoing-a-delicate-head-surgery/">recovering well after the surgery</a> as his team said they are happy with his progress report.

Zim Foreign Based Footballers Raise US $5,000 For Partson Jaure's Medicals

Former Dynamos captain <a href="https://www.pindula.co.zw/Memory_Mucherahowa" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Memory Mucherahowa</a> has criticised his former club for abandoning its renowned youth policy and embarking on a scattergun recruitment drive.
The United Kingdom-based 50-year-old 1994 Soccer Star of the Year told The Standard that he is worried the recruits may not cope with the demands at the humongous institution. He said:
<blockquote>It is a good thing that Dynamos is strengthening the team. I hope they will do well. My only worry is whether these players will cope with the demands of such a big institution.
Dynamos used to rely on its junior policy and the youngsters would play in curtain-raisers. By the time they graduated into the senior team, they would be aware of the demands of the team’s supporters.
The fans knew their youngsters. They would form the core of the team with only one or two additions and not more than seven players.
We had the generation of Kuda Muchemeyi, Shaw Handriade, Edward Katsvere, <a href="https://www.pindula.co.zw/David_Mandigora" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">David Mandigora</a>, then Clayton Munemo’s generation. We also had my generation followed by Simon Chuma’s and then <a href="https://www.pindula.co.zw/Chamu_Musanhu" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Chamu Musanhu’s</a> generation.
We carried the Dynamos culture and got used to the fans’ demands before we graduated into the senior team.</blockquote>
DeMbare has so far signed 11 players, including Patson Jaure, Tanaka Chidhobha, Nkosi Mhlanga and Lennox Mutsetse.
The Glamour Boys have also added Byron Madzokere, Tymon Mvula, Jeansmith Mutudza, David Temwanjira, Barnabas Mushunje, Tinotenda Chiunye and, lately, Sylvester K Appiah to their ranks.
