Kabila Kabange Stadium yesterday at the ongoing Southern African Regional Police Chiefs Corporation Organisation.

They will play hosts DRC in the final. Zimbabwe won the first set 25-19. Powered by utility player Mercy Gotekwa, captain Venenzia Chiyangwa, blocker Shamiso Madzudzo and Prisca Mutero, Zimbabwe were simply in their own class.

In the second set, Namibia clawed back into the match forcing Zimbabwe to make errors on the block line and they took advantage by making use of free balls, scoring key points. After taking a comfortable lead, Namibia held on to win the second set 25-17 and drew level 1-1.

However, Zimbabwe won the next two sets 25-20 and 25-23 and wrapped up the game 3-1 and, with it, a place in the final.
Meanwhile, the netball team lost to Malawi 40-37 in a match that the Namibian umpire hogged the limelight for wrong reasons with some atrocious decisions.
