Zimbabwe Overview

Amakhosi head coach has made it clear that strengthening the attack remains a priority, insisting the club still needs reinforcements in the final third. Speaking ahead of the upcoming Toyota Cup, the Frenchman explained that while the squad has made significant progress defensively, the next phase of the team's development will depend on adding greater attacking variety.

Former Amakhosi talisman has shared his deep appreciation for the club that launched his professional career, describing his return to face the Soweto giants as a massive honour. The Zimbabwean forward, affectionately known as the ‘Smiling Assassin’ by the club's faithful, credited the Glamour Boys for providing the foundation that allowed him to reach the heights of European football.

The Soweto giants' head coach has provided an update on the futures of the Amakhosi duo, confirming both players are surplus to requirements at Naturena. Neither player was included in the club’s recent pre-season tour of Spain, and Da Cruz has now publicly explained why they have been sidelined from the first-team set-up.

The Amakhosi defender has sent a clear message to his teammates and supporters alike, insisting that this weekend's Toyota Cup clash against the Zimbabwean side is far from a mere exhibition match. The versatile player believes the encounter is a vital opportunity for the Soweto giants to secure silverware and build momentum ahead of the new domestic season.
