BULAWAYO Chiefs need just one more victory against Bosso 90 on Saturday afternoon to secure promotion back into the Castle Lager Premier Soccer League.
A win at Chiefs Village will take the Ninjas to an unassailable 76 points and virtually seal the Zifa Southern Region Division One title, with two more games left to play. However, while Chiefs inch closer to promotion on the field, they continue to be haunted by the Anesu Saiti eligibility dispute.
The Zifa Southern Region has referred the matter to its disciplinary committee after Hwange and Nkayi United lodged formal complaints. The two clubs allege that Saiti’s registration breached player transfer and eligibility regulations.
The forward, who started the season with Bulawayo City before his contract was revoked by his parent club Black Mambas, later joined Chiefs during the mid-season transfer window. His accusers claim he featured for Bulawayo City against Hwange earlier in the campaign, then turned out for Chiefs against the same side within the same season a move they argue compromises competition integrity.
