ZAMBIA PULLS OUT OF DEFENCE SADC SOCCER GAMES AMIDST POLICTICAL TENSIONS BETWEEN MNANGAGWA AND HICHILEMA

Harare, Zimbabwe-The Zimbabwe
Football Association (ZIFA) has hastily
assembled a 21-man squad to face a
Zimbabwe Defence Forces (ZDF) select team
in a match scheduled for Tuesday at Rufaro
Stadium.

This move follows the unexpected withdrawal of the Zambia Defence Forces from the originally planned fixture, a decision influenced by escalating diplomatic tensions between Zimbabwe and Zambia.

On Monday, ZIFA unveiled the squad
comprising players from the Castle Lager
Premier Soccer League. Technical director
Jethro Hunidzarira will helm the team in the
absence of newly appointed Warriors coach,
Michael Nees.

The match was initially set as a highlight of
the Zimbabwe Defence Forces celebrations

        How are you brother Bob? Just answer this question…Since when did Zambia start having such differences, even involving the military , with it’s neighbours? My friend Peace is very easy to lose, but extremely difficult to get back.Thats why sensible leaders are mindful of this..and pursue pragmatic foreign policies..But your god- President doesn’t seem to know this!
