Morrison recently claimed that he was given the mentioned amount from a Simba agent, to convince him sign for the Msimbazi Reds the next season.
\"In his audio clip, Morrison said the money was sent to him by Simba president but at Simba, we do not have a president as such, I do not really understand what he is talking about,\" Manara said.
According to an audio clip posted recently, Morrison was heard saying that a Simba agent gave him 5000 dollars to convince him to land at the Msimbazi Street based outfits.
\"I told him to send me the offer via my WhatsApp address but he did not and instead, he personally brought it together with 10,000 dollars, which he said was sent by the club's president saying that if I accept, we should share the amount equally with him,\" the clip said
He went on: \"I told him to give me enough time to go through the contract and because everybody needs money, I pocketed my share but after they heard that I have signed a two year contract extension at Yanga, the agent has been on my neck now.\"
Moreover, Morrison said he has promised the agent that he will not rush into extending a new contract at Yanga when the current one expires until he talks with Simba but the agent is insisting that he (Morrison) will have problems with the president.

THE completion of the multi-million-dollar Kazungula River Bridge is certainly sweet music in the ears of Botswana and Zambia, but for Zimbabwe, it presents a headache over loss of transit fees. by ALFONCE MBIZWO/MTHANDAZO NYONI The new Kazungula River Bridge, which is expected to be functional by year-end, links Zambia’s Kazungula town with Botswana. It also offers an alternative route to road transporters from South Africa to Zambia and other northern countries in the region. Currently, the Beitbridge-Chirundu road is a key component of the Trans-African Highway Network Zimbabwean link between South Africa and Zambia. It is also part of the North–South Corridor Project and the Cape to Cairo Road, and a gateway to the common market for Eastern and Southern Africa. But Zimbabwe has neglected the roads that make up the corridor. The Beitbridge-Harare Highway was built in the 1960s and has far outlived its 20-year lifespan. After haggling over tenders since 2003, government finally started work on the dualisation of the road last year, with different companies working on parts of the project to expedite completion, but this may have come too late to save the situation. Zimbabwe still needs to address the bottlenecks at its Beitbridge Border Post which often sees haulage trucks stuck for days on end waiting for service. The Beitbridge port is the busiest transit border for cargo from South African ports with destinations in Zimbabwe, Zambia, Malawi, the Democratic Republic of Congo and often as far as Tanzania. There are relatively few studies on the financial benefit the corridor brings to Zimbabwe but a situation analysis carried out in 2009 showed that the waiting time at the border was about 33 hours for south-bound traffic while for north bound traffic waiting time was about 45 hours. It was estimated that the cost associated with this waiting time was about US$29.3 million for south bound and US$35 million for north bound traffic per year. In contrast, the South Africa/Botswana Groblersbrug border post is quicker to process documentation at between eight-10 hours. Botswana roads are better maintained than Zimbabwe’s and fuel costs are lower. Distance-wise, Johannesburg to Lusaka, Zambia through Beitbridge is 1 525km while via Kazungula, the journey is 1 730km. But with Zimbabwe’s poor road network, congestion and long winding queues at the country’s points of entry, especially Beitbridge, truckers will likely avoid the frustrations of using the Zimbabwe route, losing the southern African nation billions of dollars in potential revenue to the new crossing point. According to a recent study, delays at Beitbridge are costing transport operators up to US$350 per day per truck, negating the cost benefit of its connectivity to multiple seaports in Durban and Mozambique. To complement the Kazungula Bridge, Botswana in 2016 said it was building several truck stop facilities for cross-border operators, making the route more attractive to haulage trucks. “It should be a wake-up call to Zimbabweans that the whole region cann

BY FORTUNE MBELE FORMER Highlanders coach Hendrikus Pieter de Jongh is back at Bosso as the club’s brand ambassador in Netherlands. The Bulawayo football giants yesterday confirmed they are in conversations with the Dutchman on his new ambassadorial role. The Dutchman on Monday posted on Twitter advertising Highlanders replica jerseys in Holland using the club’s kit sponsors On the Ball (OTB) Looks’ website. “For my wonderful fans from Holland, there is good news. My former club Highlanders has a website (https://t.co/gsBUHeqw7f) where you can buy shirts. The club is also giving a number of shirts to The Champ to give away. Possibly signed by myself,” De Jongh tweeted. The replica jerseys cost US$35 in sportwear shops while on the OTB Looks website they are priced at R550. His tweet got a considerable responses from his followers. Highlanders spokesperson Ronald Moyo said the former coach’s gesture was welcome, but the club was yet to speak to its technical partners OTB Looks on the matter. “At Highlanders, our attitude is whoever comes at any given point and contributes to the objectives of the club even if they leave, they remain an extension of the club’s network. It is against this background that we appreciate De Jongh’s voluntary service to be the club’s brand ambassador in the Netherlands,” Moyo said. He said they were mapping a way forward to help De Jongh profile the club. “We are actually working on a plan to see how best we can assist him (De Jongh) to profile the brand Highlanders during his media interviews on radio and elsewhere in Holland. However, we are yet to discuss this with our technical partners, but we are in conversation with De Jongh,” he said. De Jongh joined Highlanders in September 2019 and won the Chibuku Super Cup with the Bulawayo giants and the lure of the Caf Champions League made him cross the floor to FC Platinum in January last year, but was sacked 11 months later. The Confederation of African Football refused to give him a waiver to coach in the Champions League because he did not have the coaching badges required for the competition.
