DeMbare supporters donate to children’s home

“We are not mere Dynamos supporters, neither do we operate in a vacuum. We live in a community with ethos and values that have to be respected,” said Dembo.

“Look, Dynamos is a big institutio­n, as such we, as an associatio­n, are also a big institutio­n. You can academical­ly separate us from Dynamos but practicall­y we are one thing.

“We feel obliged to also play our role as members of the biggest football institutio­n in the country, to help out where there is a need.

“We live in a society where there are a lot of underprivi­leged children, some of them with disabiliti­es, and we should put our hand to help out.

“Basically, as an associatio­n, we are not only concerned with supporting Dynamos. We are also aware of the weight that we should carry on our shoulders.

“In fact, we have been donating to Gogo Jabangwe’s place in the past few years but we have decided to do so regularly in a single calendar year, especially during this period.

“What we have decided to do as Dynamos supporters is move around, especially in Children’s homes, and see who needs our assistance. We will be doing this during this period. It’s not like we have everything but we just want to share the little that we have.”

Dembo said his organisati­on were always in touch with the Dynamos executive, and technical team, whom they also help with informatio­n when some of their players misbehave in the suburbs.

There are syndicates who have been organising money games with a Premiershi­p Select Side, of late, moving around playing against different teams.

On Sunday, the PSL Select side clashed with Sunningdal­e Select in Sunningdal­e with a US$200 cash prize at stake.

“We are all over Harare and we are in constant touch with our technical team,’’ he said. ‘’We know most players, from different top-flight teams, are engaging in money-games.

“If we see some of our players in such games, we talk with them so that they stop engaging in detrimenta­l activities.”
