CAPS UNITED Supporters Association national chairman, Abraham Kawadza, has condemned the violent disturbances that rocked his club on Wednesday but has challenged the coach and his players to start winning to cheer the spirits of the fans.<\/p>\n

Kawadza said the violent reaction by a group of his team’s fans, to their 0-1 defeat by Hwange on Wednesday, was alien to the CAPS United culture.<\/p>\n

“We don’t condone what happened on Wednesday even though we understand the frustrations among the fans during this lean spell,” said Kawadza.<\/p>\n

“As a team that is trying to bring sponsors on board, we can’t afford to react violently to issues that are affecting our club and we have to say it loud and clear that such behaviour is unacceptable.<\/p>\n

“We don’t want to be forced to ask the police and the PSL management committee to bar those who are known to cause problems from coming to the matches but we might end up with no choice.”<\/p>\n

Kawadza also challenged coach Moses Chunga and his boys to start winning games.<\/p>\n

“It’s sad that a director (Farai Jere) who has sacrificed so much for the team ends up being insulted by our membership like that,” said Kawadza.<\/p>\n

“But the bottom line is that the team has to start winning games again because that is the only way they can gain the confidence and support of all the fans again.<\/p>\n

“One of the major talking points has been the tinkering of the line-up and, as fans’ leaders, our message to the coach is that he should try and build a core team, the players who won us those first games, because the fans know what they can deliver.”<\/p>\n

Yesterday the social network sites were buzzing with issues related to CAPS United.<\/p>\n
