Simba Bhora Provides Bus For Supporters To Mighty Warriors' AWCON Qualifier

Earlier today, the Zimbabwe senior women’s soccer team, the <a href="https://news.pindula.co.zw/2019/09/01/just-in-mighty-warriors-fail-to-play-zambia/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Mighty Warriors, boycotted an Olympic qualifier match against Zambia</a>. The boycott was an apparent protest over unpaid bonuses due to the players from ZIFA.
Here are some notable reactions to the boycott:

<blockquote>Women’s football in Zim hit an all-time low today as the team boycotted Olympic qualifier v Zambia in Harare over unpaid dues. Zifa accuses players of breach of contract and tried to raise an alternative team this morning.Zamiba say “it’s very disheartening as Zim are our icons.
It surely will be awarded to Zambia and the Mighty Warriors will probably get a ban of some sort. Zifa offered to reschedule to 10am tomorrow, but Zambia are leaving tomorrow.</blockquote>

Zimbabweans React To: Mighty Warriors Match Boycott

The <a href="http://www.pindula.co.zw/Zimbabwe_Mighty_Warriors" target="_blank">Mighty Warriors</a> are yet to receive their Samsung Galaxy S7 for participating at the 2016 Rio Olympic Games,  3 months after <a href="http://www.pindula.co.zw/Zimbabwe_Revenue_Authority" target="_blank">ZIMRA</a>  confiscated the phones and is refusing to release them despite being supplied with the requisite paperwork.
Sports Commission acting director-general Joseph Muchechetere said:
<blockquote>
<div>We are still in the process of satisfying the needs of ZIMRA. We are getting confirmation from Rio, IOC, Samsung as well as ZOC. We are coming in as SRC as a link and we should also be able to confirm the position but this thing is going forth and backwards.</div>
<div></div>
<div>We have provided the information to the Ministry of Finance possibly they will approve and hoping it will materialise on our side. The information we have supplied now, we should be in a position to get positive feedback.</div>
