HIGHLANDERS defender Peter Muduhwa has joined the East African football movement after signing a six-month loan contract with Tanzanian giant Simba SC yesterday.

The 27-year-old, who was part of the Zimbabwean national team at this year’s CHAN tournament in Cameroon, was wanted by the Tanzanian team to bolster their arsenal for the CAF Champions League campaign.

Unfortunately, he will not be able to participate in Simba SC’s fight to retain the Tanzanian league title as it was signed after the transfer window closed.

Zimbabwean soccer agent George Deda, who facilitated the move, said Muduhwa was happy with the arrangement and that if he impresses during the short period, Simba SC will hire the Highlanders for a permanent transfer. The current agreement runs through June.

“Initially, he is going to play in the CAF Champions League. But he will not play in the national league because the transfer window for Tanzania was closed two weeks ago.

“I’m also happy that something I started for and have been working hard on in the last two weeks has finally materialized.

“I also want to thank the Warriors assistant coach, Tonderayi Ndiraya, and the Zimbabwean players residing here in Tanzania for giving their honest recommendation to Simba SC.

“The Highlanders executive has also played ball every time we enter into such negotiations and I am happy with his cooperation,” Deda said.

The Tanzanian club, which recently captured the signing of another Perfect Chikwende from Zimbabwe, is excited about Muduhwa’s arrival.

The 21-time Tanzanian champions have been strengthening their squad to ensure they meet their set goals on both fronts. Muduhwa was featured yesterday on Simba SC’s social media channels.

“Welcome to the great family of Tanzanian champion defender Peter Muduhwa” Master of Defense “. We as the Simba family welcome him with both hands and believe that he will help us perform well in the CAF Champions League and Simba’s Super Cup “.

Muduhwa played the first two Group A games for the Warriors in the CHAN tournament, but did not participate in the 1-0 loss to Mali on Sunday night.

The Highlanders also gave him their blessings.

“We are pleased to announce that Vice Captain Peter Muduhwa has joined Simba SC Tanzania on a six-month loan agreement. We wish Muduhwa all the best in this new challenge,” the club said in a statement.

Simba SC are determined to do well in the group stage of the CAF Champions League. They also confirmed the signing of Nigerian forward Junior Lokosa as the team aims to reach the semi-finals of the Champions League. They have hired Frenchman Didier Gomes Da Rosa as their new head coach.

The Tanzanians, who advanced to the mini-league at the expense of Zimbabwean champion FC Platinum, were placed in Group A alongside defending champion Al Ahly of Egypt, Sudanese giants El-Merreikh and AS Vita of the Democratic Republic of Congo.

Deda said Tanzania’s move was for Muduhwa considering soccer has been on the back burner in Zimbabwe since last year due to the coronavirus pandemic.

“I’m happy for him. In fact, Tanzania is the new destination of choice for footballers and coaches in the region for obvious reasons. They pay better than most leagues and their football is getting better and better.”

“I am also satisfied with the way things have gone during this transfer window because I managed to bring three players to Tanzania and two Ghanaians to Ethiopia. So I am excited that my profile continues to grow,” said Deda. Meanwhile, Highlanders Vice President Morden Ngwenya will take over the Bosso presidency in an interim capacity for the second time in five years after the Bulawayo giants failed in their attempt to hold the annual general meeting next Sunday and elections on Sunday. next month.

This was stated by the legal representative of the Bulawayo giants, Zibusiso Charles Ncube, of the law firm Ncube and Partners.

Bosso members were supposed to elect a club president, general secretary and committee member on February 7, but the event, like the meeting, came to a halt after police refused to sanction them.

Bosso received that position Monday through a letter from Bulawayo Central’s commanding officer, Never Tembo.

“This office acknowledges receipt of the letter and has taken note of your request. However, gatherings of more than two people have since been banned under the new Covid-19 lockdown restrictions aimed at slowing the spread of the pandemic and your event is not an exempt essential requirement. It is because of this background and due to the increase in Corona virus cases that the event is not recommended, “wrote Tembo.

The chairman of the board of the Highlanders, Luke Mnkandla, could not give a definite position on the way forward.

“The media will be informed of the position in due course,” he said.

The incumbents Kenneth Mhlophe, President, Israel Moyo, Secretary General and Wisdom Mabhena, the terms of the committee members are coming to a constitutional end on February 7. Mhlophe confronts Johnfat Sibanda while Moyo faces Morgan Gazza Dube. Mabhena is in her last term and is ineligible to compete. His post is being pushed by Mgcini Mafu and Bheka Sibanda.
