9 March 2011<\/p>\n

DYNAMOS coach Lloyd Mutasa will be-gin his Castle Lager Premiership tenure at the Harare giants with a cagey date against his former paymasters – Kiglon – when the 2011 league programme bursts into life.<\/p>\n

Mutasa was the Kiglon coach until he was lured by the DeMbare management to come in and replace Elvis Chiweshe as head coach.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

The former Tanganda and Dynamos midfielder’s switch to the Harare giants triggered a mass exodus of personnel from Kiglon to DeMbare including one of his trusted lieutenants Masimba Dinyero who is now his assistant.<\/p>\n

A host of Kiglon players also followed their coach to Dynamos.<\/p>\n

It is against this background that Dynamos’ opening encounter will virtually be a Kiglon versus Kiglon affair.<\/p>\n

Warriors midfielder Denver Muka-mba, Devon Chafa, Dominic Benati, Gift Bello, Thomas Magorimbo and Maxwell Nyamupangedengu have joined Dembare from Kiglon.<\/p>\n

Although the PSL management are still to announce the actual dates and venues for the games including the opening round of matches, they released the full fixture for 2011 yesterday.<\/p>\n

Champions Motor Action will begin their title defence with a derby clash against a Black Mambas side who survived relegation on the last day of the season.<\/p>\n

Highlanders who finished third after a late surge for the championship will also start their campaign at home with a date against Shabanie Mine while fourth-placed Harare giants CAPS United will take on league returnees Zimbabwe Saints.<\/p>\n

The Kiglon against Dynamos tie might seem a David versus Goliath encounter but DeMbare fans would be quick to remember that for two successive season they have lost to the Chitungwiza outfit in the championship run in.<\/p>\n

Two years ago, Kiglon dented DeMbare’s title hopes when they beat them 3-2 to hand the initiative to eventual winners Gunners.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

It was a similar tale last year when Kiglon handed Chiweshe’s Dynamos a 1-0 defeat that swung the pendulum in favour of Motor Action.<\/p>\n

Now Mutasa and half of the team that did damage to DeMbare must face a new-look Kiglon that is undergoing a massive rebuilding exercise under Mutasa’s good friend Rodwell Dhlakama.<\/p>\n

Former Dynamos striker Tendai Gwata, is now at Kiglon, who also have midfielder Conrad Whitby who arrived from Eagles, ex-CAPS United defender Danger Fourpence and veteran striker Moore Moyo who joined from relegated Lengthens.<\/p>\n

New Kiglon assistant coach Patridge Muskwe said they are not worried at the prospect of meeting the Harare giants in the opening round.<\/p>\n

Muskwe, who was with Eagles last season, however, said Kiglon would go into the match as underdogs.<\/p>\n

“Kiglon is rebuilding and we have new players.<\/p>\n

“But we are not under pressure although we will give it our best.<\/p>\n

“I think it’s actually Dynamos who have a big tag who should be feeling the pressure,” said Muskwe.<\/p>\n

Kiglon yesterday beat Highfield United 2-0 in a pre-season friendly while they also drew 0-0 with Buffaloes at the weekend.<\/p>\n

Last season Motor Action began their journey to glory with a game against Shooting Stars away at Ascot winning 2-0 through goals from Allan Gahadzikwa and William Kupera.<\/p>\n

The Mighty Bulls will be at home this time, according to the provisional fixtures circulated to the clubs yesterday.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

According to the fixtures, CAPS United are hosting Premiership returnees Zimbabwe Saints in their first game.<\/p>\n

Chikwata are marking a return to the elite league after buying the franchise from Eagles.<\/p>\n

Saints have roped in Willard Mashinkila-Khumalo and Agent Sawu as the coaches and Elvis Chiweshe is also understood to be taking up a role in the new technical department.<\/p>\n

Newboys FC Platinum who have been splashing cash to lure a number of good players will face Shooting Stars at Mandava in Zvishavane before they travel to Harare to meet Dynamos in round two.<\/p>\n

It will also be clash of the newboys when Philani Ncube’s Chicken Inn meet Blue Ribbon Stars who have Misheck Chidzambwa as their coach.<\/p>\n

Blue Ribbon Stars will travel to Bulawayo while 2009 champions Gunners make the long trip to Hwange for their opening game.<\/p>\n

But before the Castle Lager Premiership roars into life, the NetOne Charity Shield, pitting Motor Action and Dynamos will serve as the starter to the menu.<\/p>\n

PSL chief executive Kenny Ndebele said they had tentatively set the weekend of March 26-27 to start the league programme.<\/p>\n

“We have released the fixtures for circulation to the clubs.<\/p>\n

“I am still checking if the clubs have all received the fixture,” he said.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Ndebele said the club’s assembly has not agreed on the kick-off date but they would be finalising on the programme before the end of the week.<\/p>\n
