STATE MEDIA: A 39-year-old Caps United supporter is battling for his life at Mater Dei Hospital in Bulawayo after he was seriously injured in post match violence that characterised the Highlanders – Caps United Bob@91 Super Cup play off match at Babourfields Stadium yesterday.
Tawedzerwa Moyo is believed to have been attacked by Highlanders supporters in post match violence after the Bulawayo giants lost 2-1 to Caps. ZRP Spokesperson for Bulawayo Metropolitan Province, Inspector Mandhlenkosi Moyo said the injured man is in a critical but stable condition.
Highlanders CEO, Ndumiso Gumede has expressed disappointment that supporters don’t realise the repercussions of acts of hooliganism on other people’s lives and also the team, adding they do not condone such acts.
Gumede however blamed the football mother body, ZIFA for letting players who incite violence during matches go scot-free without being punished. He cited an incident where Caps United’s Rodrick Mutuma celebrated his goal in a manner that could have infuriated Highlanders supporters.
The play-off match was characterised by skirmishes as supporters from both teams threw missiles into the ground. The match was stopped for 12 minutes after Caps United goalkeeper, Victor Twaliki went down after he was hit by a missile thrown from the Soweto end.
Last year, a Highlanders supporter, Thembelenkosini Hloli died after violence erupted during a league match between Highlanders and Dynamos.
Football analysts have condemned the violent behaviour exhibited by fans during the match.
Archford Mundava said the Caps United – Highlanders encounter was clearly not a good advertisement of local football.
Former Warriors midfielder, Lazarus Muhoni also criticised Sunday’s incident, urging fans to accept defeat.
Violence has been a perennial problem in Zimbabwean football with clubs appearing not to have learnt from sanctions for unbecoming behaviour exhibited by their fans.

And i think its a big insult for us as ndebele people for charles mabika to organise a match pitting higlanders and teams from mashonaland to celebrate the birth day of Mugabe. if life was so much worth living how dd mugabe order the killing of our parents. Charles mabika must stop his bootlicking , and they must celebrate the birth day of MUgabe in HARARE. No one is not aware tht MUgabe is forcing himself to us as a region. THT man is hated in the region more thn the devil himself.
