There goes Dynamos again

of Kings, Lord of Lords, Conquering Lion of the Tribe of Judea – Jah Rastafarai.

It’s a blessed Sunday brethren. I can feel it in my blood.

The Warriors take on Zambia in the Cosafa Castle Cup final and Yours Truly has no doubt that he will leave the Royal Bafokeng Sports Palace strutting like a king after another Warriors victory, another Ovidy Karuru goal and another George Chigova clean sheet.

Sunday “Mhofu” Chidzambwa has shown that he is not a boring old man after all - his Warriors have been full value for money.

Victory is certain against Chipolopol­o!

Later in the evening my heart will be with Caps United as they seek to get into the Caf Champions League quarterfin­als with victory away to USM Alger of Algeria.

I am not one of those who wave vegetables at the stadium while singing “Kepekepe Bhora”, but for today it’s treasonous not to be supporting Caps United.

It’s not longer about the Green Machine; it’s now about that beautiful flag of ours which also has green on it.

However, today I do not wish to talk about the Warriors or Caps United.

I do not even want to talk about Omega Sibanda, the Zifa vice-president who believes this column took a dig at him last week.

The guy is seeing shadows and one day he will have his Sir treatment. He is really craving for it, isn’t he?

I want to talk about Dynamos, DeMbare, Chazunguza and if you are a social media person like me, #mabhinya.

The Glamour Boys are enjoying a purple patch but it’s not all rosy in the boardroom as Mubaiwa is increasing­ly being sidelined in favour of his deputy Sanyamandw­e.

The talk at DeMbare these days is “Mubaiwa apera” (Mubaiwa is broke) and it’s not just the players who are saying it.

The man who bailed the club out on several occasions and delivered four titles on the bounce is now being viewed as a hindrance to success by some board members.

There are suggestion­s that he gets the boot and there are no prizes for guessing the man, or woman, this cartel wants to replace Mubaiwa with.

Sanyamandw­e is increasing­ly becoming influentia­l at Dynamos, doling out greenbacks each time the team is in a fix. Which is often.

I haven’t had the chance to gauge the Dynamos deputy president’s IQ but from a distance he comes across as smart enough.

Only time will tell if Sanyamandw­e is smart enough to know that this club is a master of using and dumping people – administra­tors, players and supporters.

At one time Mubaiwa was the darling of those old men and before that that there was Farai Munetsi.

Both men used their personal funds to keep things moving at the club but instead of gratitude they got brickbats and accusation­s of wanting to take over the club.

Good luck to Sanyamandw­e. Good luck to Caps United. Good luck to the Warriors. Sir exits the scene! ◆ Sir is a social media commentato­r and can be contacted on Sir18area@yahoo.com
