Farai Dziva| Chimurenga Music icon Thomas Tafirenyika Mapfumo has challenged the Dynamos leadership to ensure the club’s long history is well documented.

The Chimurenga Music legend insisted the Glamour Boys should be recognised for the role they played in the country’s struggle for independence.

Mapfumo, an avid DeMbare fan, met with one of the Glamour Boys founding fathers and board chairman, Bernard Marriot Lusengo, and club patron Webster Shamu.

The Chimurenga Music icon said as Zimbabweans look to celebrate Independence Day commemorations next month, it was also imperative for the nation to recall the contributions that football and music played during the liberation struggle.

“Dynamos is a team I have always supported from the Rhodesian times and this team is part of the history of this country,’’ said Mapfumo.

“From their formation in 1963, Dynamos are linked to the struggle for emancipation of the black people in this country and all those teams like Lusitanos, Callies, Salisbury United, who were playing in the same league with them before independence, were fully aware of what that the club represented.”
