Send Warriors to army barracks: MP

HARARE East MP, Terrence Mukupe (Zanu PF) yesterday suggested that the national football team, the Warriors should be sent to army barracks, for embarrassing the nation at the Africa Cup of Nations (Afcon), where they were eliminated in the initial stage.

Zimbabwe drew against Algeria before losing to Senegal and Tunisia to bow out of the competition.

Mukupe made the suggestion after Sports minister Makhosini Hlongwane had been asked by Buhera West MP Oliver Mandipaka (Zanu PF) to explain government plans to ensure the Warriors would produce better results in the future.
