Farai Dziva| A daring council employee planted maize crops inside the popular home of football -Gwanzura Stadium.

A picture of “maize fields” inside Gwanzura Stadium set social media platforms ablaze on Monday.

The iconic stadium, which has memories of numerous historic football moments, has been used mainly for political functions and not football matches of late, but that did not deter criticism aimed at the City Fathers for the latest activity there; maize farming.

According to local tabloid  H-Metro the maize fields are inside the perimeter wall, behind the terraces.

The publication further alleges that the toilets at the stadium are “unusable” due to neglect.

City Council officials reportedly said that the maize field at the venue belong to one their stadium caretakers.
