“Mbazo” told Goal.com, that the bulk Zimbabwean players’ familiarity with the South African style of football and climate will make the Warriors a tricky opponent for Bafana. He said:
<blockquote>There are no easy games for Bafana especially when we talk about the World Cup qualifiers.
… With Zimbabwe, it will be a derby because we all know their best players are in the Premier Soccer League (PSL).
They will want to beat us and I think factors such as playing here, the climate and weather conditions can suit them when we play them here.
It’s going to be a derby against Zimbabwe, I mean most of their players are here and they understand the culture of South African football. They will definitely want to beat us and we will face challenges going to Harare.</blockquote>

The Warriors have had an encounter with South Africa and Ghana before and the records are not that bad.
Meanwhile, football fans have often said that Zimbabwe lacks enough preparation for international matches therefore to does not matter how weak its opponents are, it will not qualify until the issue has been resolved.
Zimbabwe was left disappointed when the Warriors failed to proceed from the group stages at last year’s AFCON edition.
The team was composed of skilled players whilst the group consisted of “fair” teams.

Mamelodi Sundowns coach, Pitso Mosimane has revealed that the club <a href="https://news.pindula.co.zw/2020/01/02/mamelodi-sundowns-reportedly-keen-to-sign-knowledge-musona/">had a keen interest in signing the Zimbabwean skipper, Knowledge Musona</a> but they were beaten to his signature by Belgian side KAS Eupen.
Mosimane told KickOff that the club had no enough money to match that of the Belgian club which was being offered to the former Kaizer Chiefs forward. He said:
<blockquote>I can confirm we wanted Musona but he decided to go for the Eupen programme in Qatar. We could not match the Qatar money.
But it’s okay. We hope Mauricio [Affonso] comes back. [Jose] Ali Meza has recovered.</blockquote>
Musona opted to join KAS Eupen on a season-long loan and Eupen coach Benat San Jose expressed happiness in the pay at which Musona is adjusting at his new club.
The Smiling Assassin scored his first goal for Eupen on his debut just ten minutes into the first half of the match they drew 1-1 draw with Charleroi on Saturday.

ZIFA has requested that COSAFA president, Philip Chiyangwa’s allowance be debated at the upcoming 2019 Annual General Meeting on January 25.
This comes after the COSAFA Financial audit has revealed that the former ZIFA boss “received” or “gave himself” R881 000 in the year-ending 2019, the same year the organisation made a loss amounting to R2 505 190.
In a letter to COSAFA, ZIFA secretary-general Joseph Mamutse asked CAF and FIFA to act on the anomaly adding that the matter should be reported to the South African Police for financial impropriety. Part of the letter read:
<blockquote>…a whooping R881 150 was paid to COSAFA president Dr Chiyangwa alone as allowances and ‘Honorarium’ whatever this means all in year 2019…

We note that Dr Chiyangwa was given or gave himself a whooping R580 000 as ‘Honararium’ a figure which is bigger that the zone’s flagship competition the COSAFA MEN Cup prize money of R500 000. How do we justify paying such an astronomical figure, we being responsible for the sport?</blockquote>
Mamutse also demanded clarity over R19 696 travel cost reimbursement granted to the Zanu PF Chiyangwa under the period under review.
The current ZIFA administration has often clashed with Chiyangwa since his departure from the association.

Football is business and you need to have the right products which in this case are the players. Of course, we need to be competitive but obviously we need properly groomed athletes who know what their job entails.</blockquote>

I honestly have no clue whatsoever that they had to do what they had to do in such a manner. The message circulated on social media as it is and it was about the players that had contracts which had expired on 31 December, 2019.
They were saying they are not going to renew any contract that had expired. It was sad, it was tough but I had to accept it because that was the reality on the ground.

"Unstoppable" Liverpool Close To Beating All EPL Teams This Season, 1 To Go

Zimbabwe Warriors Captain, Knowledge Musona scored on KAS Eupen debut when they played Charleroi at home this Saturday.
The Smiling Assassin, as Musona is fondly known, scored in the first ten minutes of the game. The goal is Musona’s first competitive goal since March 2019 when he scored in Zimbabwe’s 2-0 win over Congo in an Africa Cup of Nations Qualifier match. 

Musona’s last Belgian pro-league goal was in February 2019 when he was on loan to Lokeren.
The development is encouraging news for the 29-year-old who endured a disappointing year and a half with the Belgian side Anderlecht.
Before joining KAS Eupen on a season-long loan from Anderlecht, the Warriors’ Skipper was being <a href="https://news.pindula.co.zw/2020/01/02/mamelodi-sundowns-reportedly-keen-to-sign-knowledge-musona/">linked with South Africa ABSA Champions, Mamelodi Sundowns.</a>
