“It’s
true, one Ghanaian is already here and the other two Dadson and Kofi are
supposed to arrive on February 7. We are leaving no stone unturned in our quest
to regain promotion in to the top flight league. We are appealing to the
corporate world for sponsorship as you know that there has to be a combined
effort in order for us to achieve our goal,” said Wesley.

“Yes
I can confirm that one player has arrived and the other two are expected to
land at Robert Mugabe International Airport this Friday. Ishmael spent eight years
at the Academy and we felt that he had matured enough to play at any level.

“Johnson
is also another great player who has tried his luck at a couple of top clubs
across Africa including Orlando Pirates. I’m optimistic that they can make a
positive impact at the club if awarded a chance,” said Amegatsey.

Shabanie
Fc coach, Timothy Maphosa said he welcomes the Ghanaians and believes the three
will add value to the team but said the club has fallen victim of player exodus
in recent years because they can’t afford better remunerations.

“It’s
good that we are going to have new players from Ghana but our biggest fear is
losing them to other big clubs if the players exhibit good skills. Last season we
had to start afresh after we lost almost the whole squad during the transfer
window and I had to look for players from the social league and from Division 3.

“Shabanie
fc is a very big brand and almost every team in Zimbabwe has a Shabanie flavor
so it is my plea to the Zvishavane business community to grab this chance and
be part of the history of bringing back lost pride,” said Maphosa.

Bvaru Bvaru have managed to secure sponsorship
from Verenga Empire and Barmlo Company but the deals need a backup.
