Murerwa, whose company is based in Polokwane, has promised to support the Zimbabwean national team in their bid to qualify for next year’s Africa Cup of Nations (Afcon) finals.
“Our wish is to help the team in their future endeavours. We will have to engage relevant officials and see how best we can help. Our wish is to see, not only this team prosper, but all our national teams,” Murerwa was quoted by NewsDay.
“Since we helped the team, we have heard that a lot of other companies have also shown interest, which is a good thing. This team is ours, so my word is that to those who can let’s help this team. Let’s give the little that we have, and help keep the nation’s flag high.”
Another SA-based company owned by a Zimbabwean donated R4000 and hosted the celebration party after the Warriors won the Cosafa Cup.
