Norman Mapeza has now won three championships in his growing coaching career with the 46-year-
old having first earned his stripes a decade ago after guiding Monomotapa to the 2008 crown.

The former Zimbabwe captain and coach then wrote his own piece of history last year when he became the first coach in more than five decades to guide a team from outside Harare
and Bulawayo to the ultimate prize in
domestic football.
FC Platinum showed that their victory last year was no fluke as they have gone better this season and sealed their second championship with the luxury of six points from two games to spare.
They needed just a draw against their
Zvishavane rivals but Mapeza’s men were in no mood to leave anything to
chance.

The miners kept their cool to seal a riveting championship race that was long reduced to a two horse race between fellow miners Ngezi Platinum and them.
