The statement read in part said:

The run to the final, including two breath taking penalty shootouts wins against Botswana and Lesotho, and the ultimate victory today shows there is no other team in the region deserving the title Cup Kings.

To the men who engineered this outstanding triumph, in particular coach Sunday Chidzambga and his technical team and goalkeeper George Chigova’s in particular , it is certainly beyond words that we say well done.

You have done Zimbabwe proud, we salute you and we do believe that the 2017 victory over the same opponents was no fluke. It was deserved, just as this one was.

To all the players who took part in the competition we say, well done, you showed a true fighting spirit especially in the final this afternoon to come from 2-1 down to win 4-2. That is the exact definition of a warrior!

To the Zimbabwe fans, both local and abroad, we could not have achieved this without your support and goodwill. We thank you.

Chiyangwa is up for re-election later this year. He is also the president of Cosafa.
