Jane Mlambo| Sports minister Kirsty Coventry has committed to help Caps United Football club to be able to bring home their bus donated by former player Nyasha Mushekwi.

Mushekwi purchased a 45 seater bus which his is set to be donated to Makepekepe.

The Green Machine wrote to Coventry requesting to import the bus duty free and the former swimming sensation has expressed willingness to assist the team.

In a letter seen by this publication, Minister of Youth, Sport, Arts and Recreation Dr Kirsty Coventry positively responded to a letter written by Chambati Mataka and Makonese, who on behalf of the player, had written to the Minister seeking an exemption of import duty for the said 45 seater  bus from the donor (Nyasha Liberty Mushekwi).

In her response, Coventry made it clear that her ministry was going to write to other offices for approval.

“Sports and Recreation Commission will then write a covering letter to the Secretary for Youth, Sport, Arts and Recreation who will also request for the same from the Treasury. If Treasury grants the exemption, then Zimra will proceed to process the same,” read the response.

However, the letter stressed that the receipt of purchase must clearly show the name of the donee and never to an individual.

Mushekwi plies his trade in China and recently the Chinese Super League club Dalian Yifang as a free agent to Zhejiang Greentown which plays in the second division.
