Kwekwe United has suspended head coach Saul Chaminuka and his assistant Clemence Zuze due to poor performance, the club confirmed on Friday

The team will be led by Beknown Mhlaingena in the interim, according to a press statement released by the club.

“We confirm the suspension of our head Coach Saul Chaminuka and first assistant Clement Zuze due to issues related to non-performance,” the statement read.

“Indeed, like many clubs in the league we have faced financial challenges, but I can assure you that the club is working tirelessly behind the scenes to source funding and attract strategic partners, who can assist in stabilising and strengthening our operations,” the club stated.

The club is taking it one game at a time, focusing on consistent performance without putting the team under undue pressure.
