DYNAMOS have been hit by a massive player exodus with at least half of the Harare giants’ stars from last season squad on their way out of the club.
Midfielders Donald Mudadi and Arthur “Diego” Musiiwa have already confirmed they are leaving following the expiry of their contracts on December 31.
They posted on their social media pages confirming that they are moving on.
“I want to take this moment to let you know that I am leaving Dynamos FC,” wrote Mudadi, who is linked with a move to league champions Simba Bhora.
“I have enjoyed my tenure here and I appreciate having had the opportunity to represent the blue family. Thank you for the support, guidance and encouragement you have provided during my time.
“Even though I will miss my colleagues and the team, I am looking forward to a new challenge and start a new phase in my career.”
Musiiwa simply posted: “Thanks for everything”.
Mudadi and Musiiwa join the Moyo twins, Elvis and Kelvin, who severed their ties with the club before the end of the season last term.

Tanaka Shandirwa and Issa Sadiki, who were on loan at the club from Yadah, have reverted to their parent club after their deals expired at the end of the year.
Captain Frank Makarati, who has been linked with Simba Bhora, and his vice Emmanuel Jalai, are some of players whose contracts lapsed on December 31 and they have not been offered new deals.
The foreign trio of Ansa Botchway, Emmanuel Paga and Sadney Urikhob are also rumoured to be leaving after enduring a frustrating season with the Harare giants, which was characterised by player strikes over salaries and bonuses.
Strikes were prevalent at DeMbare last season as players demanded, among other things, their signing on fees, bonuses and allowances.
But the Lloyd Chigowe-coached side, somehow, managed to overcome the financial struggles and managed to defend their Chibuku Super Cup title.
They will represent the country in the Caf Confederations Cup next season as a result.
Dynamos could plunge back into the African Safari without Chigowe, who is yet to be appointed a substantive coach following the expiry of his “temporary” contract on December 31.
Joel Luphahla, who was Chigowe’s assistant last season, has already left the club to take charge at Simba Bhora.
Dynamos were eliminated in the first round of the Caf Confederations Cup last season, with their premature exit blamed on the club’s financial struggles.
The broke club has been in recent times surviving on the benevolence of Sakunda Holdings, but their relations are reportedly strained.
The energy giant is reportedly yet to commit itself to sponsor the club next season.
Reports suggest that Sakunda is demanding structural changes at the top of the club’s hierarchy before it can inject more money into the team.
Lack of funds have left the club in a difficult position as they cannot fund any transfer activities.
Club chairman Moses Maunganidze could not be reached for a comment yesterday.
