Dynamos AGM goes ahead

up his sleeve.

Pity Caps United are not here, they would have assisted him win like they did with two of the four league titles he won with DeMbare.

Unless Tunisia lose this game we won’t win it because our coach is tactically sterile and finds comfort in being surrounded by yes-men.

Pio Mhizha is a kit manager who also claims to be a prophet, and the two assistant coaches – Mkhupali Masuku and Saul Chaminuka –know they are here in Gabon because of their boss’ benevolenc­e.

They would kiss his rear than call him out.

Mathew Rusike starts ahead of Tendai Ndoro, Cuthbert Malajila still gets a run and Elisha Muroiwa as nervous as he is still makes the starting XI?

Is there an alternativ­e voice in that dressing room?

Mathew Rusike was out of his depth in the Algeria match and to see him getting that jersey on Thursday was bewilderin­g and an insult to all Zimbabwean­s. He did something alright. He ran around, was blown like the wind, broke sweat.

He was as useless as a gynecologi­st at a heart surgery.

Ultimately the fault lies at the hands of the coach who decided to field him.

But then again for a guy who can’t pick competent assistant coaches, a competent team is probably beyond Pasuwa. Sir exits the scene!

Feedback sir18area@ yahoo.com THE Dynamos Annual General Meeting is set to go ahead after High Court Judge Priscilla Chigumba yesterday threw out an urgent applicatio­n by a faction led by Ernest Kamba.

Kamba and his group which includes Misheck Chidzambwa, Moses Chunga, Makwinji Soma-Phiri and five others had approached the High Court seeking to be allowed to take part at today’s meeting.

However, their efforts yesterday came to naught as Justice Chigumba ruled that their applicatio­n was not urgent and that there was no evidence to prove that Kamba and crew were shareholde­rs in Dynamos Football Club (Pvt) Ltd.

Dynamos lawyer Brian Mataruka of Gill, Godlonton and Gerrans said the AGM will now proceed as scheduled in the capital this morning.

“The judge dismissed the matter on the basis that it was not urgent because the applicants had the opportunit­y, for the past seven AGMs, to contest but did not do so,” said Mataruka.

“The judge also said the applicatio­n was fatally defective because it did not comply with form 29 of the High Court rule which sets out requiremen­ts for urgent applicatio­ns.

“She also noted that there was no proof that Kamba and his colleagues are shareholde­rs in Dynamos Football Club (Pvt) Ltd,” said Mataruka.

Last week, the Kamba-led group said they will give the AGM a chance and will attend to air their grievances with the current leadership.

However, Marriot slammed the door on them, saying they were not welcome to attend the meeting as they are not shareholde­rs.

Dynamos’ performanc­e last season looks set to feature prominentl­y at today’s AGM.

Meanwhile, the team is set to commence pre-season training tomorrow where they will be joined by about 20 players who impressed coach Lloyd Mutasa during last week’s trials.

Former Soccer Star of the Year Tawanda Muparati who failed to shine after swapping the Glamour Boys for How Mine is being linked with a return to DeMbare.

DeMbare have lost promising midfielder Bret Amidu to FC Platinum as well as Godknows Murwira and Dominic Mukandi to Ngezi Platinum.

Chances are high that defender Elisha Muroiwa and goalkeeper Tatenda Mukuruva, who are at the Africa Cup of Nations, will seek greener pastures after the continenta­l showcase.
