ZPC (Hwange) striker Justin Kaunda cannot afford to breathe casually in the Zifa Southern Region League’s top goalscorers race as Tatenda Ushe of Casmyn and Mbongeni Minezhi of Bulawayo City are threatening to take over.
Once considered the odds on favourite at some stage, Kaunda is feeling the heat as for the third week he is tied with Ushe.
Both strikers have scored 13 goals and young Minezhi of Bulawayo City is also now tied with the experienced duo.
Kaunda was on target with Forune Nkomazana and Hubert Ncube as ZPC (Hwange) took the stuffing off Nkayi United who are third with 35 points, 20 behind the leaders.
Second placed Tinotenda Chitete failed to find the back of the net in Hwange as the Denis Ndlovu and Gerald Ndlovu defence was unyielding.
Ushe’s 13th goal came in the 1-0 win over lowly Ajax Hotspurs.
