By Sports Reporter| The Zim Gems who flew out of Manchester Airport last night have touched down in Dubai.

ZimEye can reveal the Gems are now in the UAE having arrived early Wednesday morning.

The Zimbabwe netball team, basking in the flaming glory of breaking Rhodesian history, are now set for Harare after their short stay in the United Arab Emirates. They will arrive late afternoon, Wednesday.

While ZimEye could not perform a head count of the delegation last night, unconfirmed reports suggested over 5 chose to remain in the UK. These include a relative of one of the senior Netball Association leaders who disappeared from the team base several hours before the jet had lifted off. “The guy has disappeared from our base and is nowhere to be found. He was actually a surprise delegate here as he is not even an executive member of the Zimbabwe Netball Association (Zina). He only came by because he is a younger brother to one of the executive committee members. It turns out he just wanted to get a United Kingdom visa using netball and Zina officials knew that. Authorities here have been informed,” an anonymous source was quoted by the state owned Chronicle saying.

Meanwhile, below were the LIVE scenes as their jet flew out of Manchester Airport.
