Simba Bhora gears up for African Safari

AGAINST a backdrop of recent national footballing disappointments, champions Simba Bhora are shouldering the hopes of a nation as they kick off their maiden CAF Champions League campaign this weekend.

The Shamva-based team is set to host Eswatini’s Nsingizini Hotspurs this Sunday, with club president Simba “Buju” Ndoro vowing to restore joy to local supporters.

The match, the first leg of the preliminary round, will be held at the Obed Itani Chilume Stadium in Francistown, a necessity due to Zimbabwe’s lack of a CAF-certified stadium.
