Zimbabwean players are not spared on this transfer circle,regardless of the deadly pandemic Corona virus which has put soccer and other sporting activities in Zimbabwe on halt.
In recent weeks Zimbabwean players has been flocking to join the newly promoted DSTV Premiership Limpopo based outfit Sekhukhune United.

In addition to the duo,former Warriors captain defensive stalwart Willard Katsande who was released by Kaizer Chiefs after the expiry of his contract became a surprise acquisition to the Limpopo club,initial Katsande was said to be heading to Amazulu but Sekhukhune United flexed their monetary muscle to lure the talented gritty workaholic defensive linkman whose experience will add value to the debutants.
The Limpopo based club Sekhukhune United went on to raid a rare breed talent at Caps United,taking on board Blessing Sarupinda,a player who was expected by many soccer fans to play a vital cog on Caps revival when football activities resumes in the country. Blessing was one of the outstanding players for the Warriors in the senior men’s Cosafa Cup in South Africa,Cape town a few weeks ago.
Sekhukhune are not yet over with their talent search from Zimbabwe, it is also understood they are weighing options to look at Evans Rusike and the lacky Warriors midfielder Ovidy Karuru who are club hunting in South Africa.
