DEFENDING champions Simba Bhora are set to play FC Platinum in this year’s Independence Cup final, which will be held at the Nembudziya Growth Point Open Ground in Gokwe North, where national celebrations will take place.
In keeping with the Second Republic’s initiative to hold national events rotationally across the country’s provinces, the 45th Independence Anniversary Celebrations will take place in Gokwe North.
