Mapeza names squad for Zambia match

Acting Zimbabwe coach Norman Mapeza has named his squad for the match against Zambia set for this Sunday at the National Sports Stadium in Harare.

The team is made up largely of local players with a sprinkling of a few from South Africa. This could be down to there having been little time to call up tose from further places.

Missing though is Tatenda Mukuruva who had been the number one under former coach Kalisto Pasuwa.

Also announced was the technical team for this assignment. The assistant coaches are Ngezi Platinum Stars gaffer Tonderai Ndiraya and Bulawayo City’s Mandla Mpofu.
