The much awaited big “Battle Of Zimbabwe” soocer encounter between the country’s top two teams Highlanders and Dynamos which has been postponed twice is finally set for this weekend at Barbourfields Stadium in Bulawayo.
The match which, is characterised by sopradic incidents of violence was originally set to take place a day after the national elections but was suspended by the PSL to allow for elections to proceed smoothly. The match was again called off a week later due to volatile post-election reactions that were gripping the country.
Following disturbances that rocked Harare on Wednesday August 1 and left six people injured in the aftermath of the presidential vote, the PSL feared that the political violence could spill into the big football match.
The match is expected to be sold out as usual and heavy police presence has already been set up for the match.
