MatchDay

Harare giants, Caps United could just have assembled one of the most undisciplined premiership sides ever to grace the topflight, a look into their 2015 squad will reveal.

With trouble having brewed last season after Ronald Pfumbidzai refused to travel with the squad for a league mach against Chapungu in Gweru last season which they lost 3-0 the coming one might just be drama in the offing now that they have secured the services of bad boys Rodrick Mutuma, Joel Ngodzo and Hillary Madzivanyika.

United’s utility player, Hardlife Zvirekwi was caught on the wrong side of the law in Mutare after urinating on Buffaloes FC’s bench having accused Luke ‘vaHombe’ Msomere (Buffaloes) of using Juju to win the match.

He is one for controversy and once led a player strike at the beleaguered side.

Despite adding depth to the seemingly shallow Caps, Rodrick Mutuma brings a new dimension to the camp’s indiscipline despite new manager mark Harrison praising him.

“I know (Rodrick) from the ABSA premiership. I think he is actually going to have a positive impact on the team,” he was quoted as saying in local media.

Mutuma was involved in a fist fight with Murape Murape at Dynamos over an unclear issue resulting in his suspension for two weeks. He even beat up Murape with a broom at the training ground brawl.

He is reported to have been engaging in anti social activities with former Bosso stars Charles Sibanda, Njabulo Ncube and new teammate Ngodzo on the eve of the tm super cup last year.

The three were reportedly spotted by a hotel attendant smoking weed within hotel corridors. Bosso went on to lose the encounter 4-1 the following afternoon.

Before Caps won its Zim-Sino Cup, Mutuma’s Whatsapp status read;

“NDINI MAMBO WEHONDO HAMUDI KUUDZWA MUNOZIVA.”

A week before his brawl with captain Murape, Mutuma had fought members of Black Rhinos FC during a league match which was eventually drawn.

Ngodzo’s discipline issues have never been a secret, telling off coach Kelvin Kaindu at St Columba’s High where the team does its training, being a popular customer of the Broncleer and Ngoma syrups and also a stubborn character on his own.

Former Bosso midfielder, Hillary Madzivanyika (who is on trials at the Harare giants but is sure to be registered) is another naughty character and his association with bad boy Njabulo Ncube seems to have made it worse.

It however remains to be seen how the well travelled Briton will deal with this ticking time bomb.
