A day spent without football, is a day wasted!

“You guys (Angola) gave us a real scare, pls beat Zimbabwe very hard, let them not qualify for the next round. Zimbabwe celebrated our near non qualification for WC like they have won the World Cup," McKenzie shared on Twitter.

May the Warriors get the job done against Angola on Friday only to silence and humble this motor mouth South African Sports Minister Gayton McKenzie, who clearly struggles with choosing his words despite being a public figure.

He must be put his place!

Now, I trust in their next step, FC platinum will formally respond to the complaints lodged by the sports associations SWAZ and SPOJA regarding Wednesday’s incident.

I'm pleased to share that, for the first time since Wednesday's incident, I met with coach Norman Mapeza.

We had lunch in Harare along with FC Platinum's representative Munyaradzi Hwengere who facilitated the impromptu meeting.

[Tafadzwa babaJuju Chigandiwa @chigandiwa]

We discussed the unfortunate incident as well as other football issues.

The veteran coach didn’t refer to me as a “young man” today, I appreciated that.

Pointing fingers seems to be his favourite gesture, however, today he did it without intimidation.

@daddyhope @Kudzima @daddyhope Apart 4rm that mkoma, I was yet to finish my question and he interjected, denying something he said two weeks ago. I have attended four FCP games so far, and he always complains about shortage of goals in the PSL. Video is two weeks old. He mentioned the word "worried"

[Tafadzwa babaJuju Chigandiwa @chigandiwa]

😅😅 How am I even supposed to respond when I have never been to OT?

His Worship @JMafume and Spokes @gama_stanley, can't council buy at least a new or good second hand but modern lawnmower? This is embarassing. Thats why the grass is never level & it affects free flowing foot⚽️

My constructive criticism of Rufaro Stadium has earned me both friends and enemies.

While I was busy writing my articles this morning, someone sent me this video on WhatsApp and asked:

"Is this how they cut the lawn at Old Trafford?"

[Tafadzwa babaJuju Chigandiwa @chigandiwa]

Someone at the club then considered that a streak of poor results and it led to their sacking

But then, look now.

@FIFAcom has ruled that Ngezi Platinum must pay Benjani Mwaruwari US$600k for unfair dismissal.

That's a huge amount for any domestic club.

I genuinely feel for Ngezi Platinum Stars. They might consider an appeal, but overturning this ruling could be a huge mountain to climb.

[Tafadzwa babaJuju Chigandiwa @chigandiwa]

Coaches and players mustn't be taken for granted.

You can't just fire someone willy nilly without considering their reputation and family.

Moreover, emotional well-being.

Benjani and Mafu lasted only 13 games.

They won three games, drew six and lost four.

Va @prmakandiwa, $million renyu rekufembera riya, hamugoni kutigadzirirawo Rufaro Stadium here? This is the stadium's VVIP entrance. 😅😀

12 months ago, you said nearly US$1 million was used on renovations at the stadium, HONESTLY?

Take a close look at this picture, what happened to your LASHY GREEN you used to tell us about?

[Tafadzwa babaJuju Chigandiwa @chigandiwa]

Dear Mayor @JMafume

The pitch is in poor condition with no drainage system, some of the bucket seats are breaking, and the tunnel is an embarrassment. What renovations were actually done at Rufaro Stadium?

Even though it's ZIFA councilors only who have the mandate to vote, I think it would be interesting to hear from the cdes because it will help the public to hold them into account.

[Tafadzwa babaJuju Chigandiwa @chigandiwa]

How about a joint press conference for all ZIFA presidential candidates (only after passing the eligibility test), informing the media and telling the nation at large their manifestos in a formal setting when the time for campaigns comes.

[Tafadzwa babaJuju Chigandiwa @chigandiwa]

May the best candidate win.

Interesting times ahead in 🇿🇼Zim football.

Temba Mliswa is expressing a strong desire to assume the highly coveted ZIFA top post.

His latest post on X following his meeting with the legendary Peter 'Nsukuzonke' Ndlovu is showing his determination.

[Tafadzwa babaJuju Chigandiwa @chigandiwa]

If it all goes well, the 18th of January 2025 will be the election day.

Other candidates who are rumored for the top post include;
-Prophet Walter Magaya
-Martin Kweza
-Marshall Gore
-Richard Mazodze
-Ellen Chiwenga
-Twine Phiri
-Farai Jere
-Philmon Machana
-Nqobile Magwizi
