Dynamos Football Club officials on Monday, 19 December, paid a courtesy call to President Mnangagwa at State House.
Mnangagwa gave a warm welcome to the delegation led by DeMbare board chairman Bernard Marriot-Lusengo and club patron Webster Shamu.
Dynamos spokesperson Tinashe Farawo said the delegation briefed Mnangagwa on the club’s upcoming 60th-anniversary celebrations. Said Farawo:
If you still recall, we had a similar visit in 2021. So this is just a follow-up to that courtesy call we paid to the President sometime last year.
We went back today (yesterday) just to update His Excellency on the state of the club and also to brief him on the upcoming 60th Anniversary.
We have lined up a series of activities to mark this milestone. We also feel this is a historic moment not only for Dynamos.
Remember the club was formed the same year the ruling party was established. So we are excited to share that interesting piece of history.
That is why we also took the opportunity to invite His Excellency to our festivities.
A Privilege And Honour
Farawo said it was a privilege and an honour to meet President Mnangagwa who he said recognises the important role sport plays in society. He said:
It’s a privilege and an honour for us as one of the biggest and most successful football clubs in the country.
We are very excited that we have a President who is so sensitive even to our humble request to meet him.
The good thing about him is that he is someone who recognises the important role sport plays in our society.
Football has a great unifying effect and we hope to play our part as Dynamos in bringing together our nation.
Our board chairman (Marriot-Lusengo) feels indebted for the support and was clear in his message.
He appreciates the role the Government is playing in promoting sports.
The DeMbare delegation also had members of the executive committee that included chairman Moses Maunganidze, the newly-appointed vice-chairman Musa Gwasira, secretary-general Webster Marechera and Farawo. | The Herald
