Mnangagwa yet to deliver Masvingo FC bus, cash
Cash-strapped Masvingo United FC is in dire straits despite a pledge of US$150 000, a bus and two executive vehicles from President Mnangagwa made at the beginning of this season.
Mnangagwa who made the promise on March 6, 2026, has delivered US$35 000 cash and nothing more. The crisis is that there is now bad blood between the executive and players who believe that the former have received all the money and squandered it.
Another dilemma is that the usual small but traditional donors who are under the impression that the team is well covered by Mnangagwaโs pledge have stopped assisting the team.
The pledge was announced by Masvingo Minister of State, Ezra Chadzamira.
Players three weeks ago refused to play a game against Green Fuel until their outstanding bonuses were paid. They told the Club executive to use the US$150 000 received from the President to pay the bonuses and refused to hear the executiveโs explanation that the bulk of the money is yet to come. The players later agreed to play after the executive promised to pay the bonuses after the game.
Apparently executive members are scared to comment on the pledge to either the players or the Press for fear of jeopardizing the pledge.
Masvingo FC treasurer, Edwin Raramoyo confirmed to Masvingo Mirror that the team had received US$35 000 from Mnangagwa. He however, refused to comment on the bad blood between the players and executive over the pledgeโฆ.Full story on https://t.co/sACjEQ11xv
