Harare giants and 2007 premier soccer league champions, Dynamos, stepped up their preparations for the upcoming season together with their new acquisitions under the auspices of head coach, Elvis Chiweshe. Chiweshe is much aware of the need for a strong Glamour Boys for the upcoming task in the CAF Champions League insisting DeMbare needs to be strong for both the Champions League and the local league because it has always been the team to beat. It was because of standards set long back and these standards needs to be maintained. In a bid to strengthen the side, Dynamos, have so far acquired the services of Felex Kuswatuka, Herbert Mundwa, Francis Mandiwanzira and former Caps United captain, Ashley Rambanapasi. The Harare giants are also yet to sign former Shooting Stars and Caps United defender, David Kutyauripo, Louis Matawu from Motor Action, Esau Amisi who played for Gunners last season, 2009 soccer star of the year finalist, Farayi Vimisai and Ali Cassim who all trained with the team at Rufaro stadium, last week.
The Glamour Boys have registered 11 new players whose signature they are yet to acquire for the African Safari. They include goalkeeper Washington Arubi, Khumbulani Banda (Bantu Rovers), Zephania Ngodzo, Stephen Alimenda (Highlanders), Dylan Chivandire, Thabani Kamusoko (Njube Sundowns), Matthew Mahala (Chapungu) and Isaac Pitamuja (Kiglon). Even though we are going to make changes this season it will not because we played badly last season, we played well and there is need to strengthen the team, said Chiweshe. Among the players dropped for the continental showdown is Lloyd Hlahla, Merciful Ncube and injured pair of Rueben Mhlanga and David Shoko.
