DOMESTIC Premiership giants, Dynamos, have added their voice to the growing international chorus of condemning xenophobic attacks perpetrated on African foreign nationals by their South African counterparts over the last few days.

DeMbare, just like other clubs in the country, has shipped a number of players to the South African leagues, some of whom have grown to become top coaches and players.

South African sport has been caught up in the web of the xenophobic violence, with Zambia’s Chipolopolo cancelling an international friendly against Bafana Bafana, which had been set for Lusaka yesterday.

In a statement yesterday, club chairman Isaiah Mupfurutsa said football can be used as a tool to fight xenophobia in South Africa, adding that if Caf and Fifa are to organise such a tournament, Dynamos is ready to take part in it.

“Dynamos FC commit to take part in a high-profile club tournament pitting clubs from Zimbabwe and South Africa during which the participating teams can denounce all forms of violence, intolerance and above all, xenophobia.

“We shall always be available to take part in any campaign organised by the leagues, Zifa, Cosafa, Caf and Fifa to either promote awareness on social ills and health conditions or denounce civil strife, violence and abuses.

“We say no to xenophobia,’’ Mupfurutsa said.
ln the last few weeks, DeMbare and Kazier Chiefs have been forging ties with a view of establishing stronger bilateral relations for the benefit of Zimbabwe and South Africa.State media
