Shamva have since Mukusa’s arrival secured six points out of a possible nine.
The miners took their form to log leaders Black Rhinos, holding Stanford “Stix’’ Mtizwa’s soldiers 0-0.
Kariba Waves on the other hand opened their good run with a win against Mushowani Stars where they won 1-3 away as they went on to beat Flame Lily 2-1 at Nyamhunga.
The two teams’ revival is a result of two experienced Northern Region coaches who have seen it in probably the most competitive league.
