DYNAMOS keep defying the odds.
They are surprising many, including their detractors.
Their performances are attracting attention, from as far as the United Kingdom, where former captain Memory Mucherahowa is purring over the club’s best start to a season in over a decade.
Another former skipper, Steven Alimenda, also believes DeMbare are back in the game.
The Glamour Boys are unbeaten in the opening eight rounds of the 2026 Castle Lager Premier Soccer League season.
Fans are coming back to support them as evidenced by the strong crowd which thronged Rufaro on Wednesday, when Dynamos held defending champions Scottland to a goalless draw.
There has been peace and tranquility at the club following the coming in of a new executive headed by Vincent Chawonza.
Salaries are being paid on time.
Bonuses are even paid in advance.
And the players are performing beyond expectations.
“Truth be told, no one expected this.
“The team is producing good results and we are happy.
“Dynamos should not die,” said Mucherahowa, the club’s most successful skipper.
He added:
“Dynamos are traditional giants, mainly because of their supporters.
“The good thing is they are coming, they are the backbone of Dynamos.
“Fans are the owners of the team. They make Dynamos who they are. The return of fans to the stadium has sparked life into Dynamos.
“That’s why I was against the idea of fans boycotting matches last season.
“They are sending a message that they are the backbone of Dynamos.
“Credit also goes to the players, they are doing well. They should keep winning so that they get money.”
Alimenda has noted a huge departure from last season’s situation, when DeMbare ended up fighting against relegation.
“There are a lot of positives which show that there is progress,” said Alimenda.
“Football is not played on the pitch only, it starts with the administration.
“On the pitch it will be just a fulfilment.
“I appreciate what is being done by Chawonza and his executive, they are proving that they can return Dynamos to where it belongs, that is at the top echelons of the league. The good results show that the coaches are doing well and the players are doing well.”
He added: “Personally, I am happy with the progress. I want to applaud coach Genesis Mangombe. He has assembled a team with the right blend of youth and experience.
“Bhora ramazuva ano harichangoda madhara chete. I am urging all the fans to come out in full force in our next home game and show that Chazunguza have risen.
“Harare belongs to Dynamos. Ku Harare ndekwe Dynamos.
“If you talk of Zimbabwean football you include DeMbare. Whether people like it or not, Dynamos are the biggest team in the land.” Dynamos will host ZPC Kariba at Rufaro on Sunday, hoping to extend their unbeaten run.
“Let’s see what happens in the next three or four games. They could be crucial.”
