adminthey look at various options to strengthen their misfiring strikeforce during the mid-season transfer window, which opens next month.
Ngwenya, whose contract with Namibian Premiership outfit Eleven Arrows expires next month, started training with DeMbare this week.
Team manager Richard Chihoro yesterday expressed interest in the player and said the Harare giants were ready to negotiate with him after verifying his status with his previous club.
“He is a good player and he has expressed willingness to join Dynamos. The coaches, however, are still looking at him and I think we may bring him on board.
“But we first have to look at his contract with his previous club. He may also need clearance and these are some of the things we are looking at,” said Chihoro.
DeMbare have indicated that they would want to beef up their attack after enduring an average first half of the season in which they struggled in front of goal.
The Harare giants are currently in fifth position with 22 points and are seven points behind log leaders FC Platinum after 14 games.
The mid-season transfer window, however, gives Lloyd Mutasa and his lieutenants an opportunity to review their squad, which was weakened by the departure of several key players, who deserted at the beginning of the season because of poor remuneration.
Dynamos’ frontline was virtually paralysed when they lost Evans Gwekwerere, Dylan Chivandire and Benjamin Marere.
Gritty midfielder Ashley Rambanapasi had earlier left in a bid to join a club in Cyprus but after a two-month stay in the European country, the deal seemed to have fallen through and he returned home to join Gunners.
With pressure mounting on them to beat the Confederation of African Football’s registration deadline Dynamos ended up having to settle for just three strikers – rookies Roderick Mutuma and Patrick Khumbula – and the hard running Martin Vengesai, who arrived from Kiglon.
The trio has been fronting the DeMbare attack but none of them has so far proved to be the gunslinger that could be trusted with providing goals on a regular basis.
Dynamos have only 15 goals to show for all their effort in 14 outings with their attack firing blanks in half of those matches.
The Glamour Boys are also chasing CAPS United’s Clive Kawinga who has become a fringe striker at the Green Machine.
They are also assessing former Lengthens and CAPS United striker Tendai “DJ” Malaika, who is currently clubless, after being sacked by Masvingo United for allegedly leading a player revolt.
But it is Ngwenya, for whom much is not known about given the low profile of the Namibian league, who is attracting all the interest.
Ngwenya left the country in 2009 to join Botswana army side BDF XI.
He then shifted base to Namibia last year to join Eleven Arrows where he partnered countryman Admire Dzukamanja and Zambian Patrick Banda last season.
Their club won the Leo Cup and finished sixth in the league race.
“My contract with Arrows will expire in July and I am not sure if I am going back to Namibia. If everything is okay I would like very much to play at Dynamos. It’s a big club and I like the challenge,” said Ngwenya.
Defender Guthrie Zhokinyi’s contract ends at the end of this month and Dynamos have not yet opened negotiations to extend his stay.
