Highlanders and Dynamos supporters have been the most vocal on their unofficial social networking sites, tearing at each other about being Ndebele and Shona each time discussions come up on the two clubs.
Choruma, who starred for the Bosso side as it won two of its four championships on the trot, said this was not good for the growth of local football.
“Supporters should understand that the game should win always, regardless of where it remains a game no matter what outcome a match result is,” he said.
“Instead of us engaging in positive criticism, we see people engaging in unnecessary tribal clashes that do not bring anything to the game. Worries are that this is spreading like wild fire under our watch. We need to unite like we see in neighbouring South Africa, where Orlando Pirates and Kaizer Chiefs fans peacefully share seats in stadiums.”
The former midfielder, who also featured for Air Zimbabwe Jets, did not pull any punches, attacking the country’s two biggest clubs for perpetrating tribalism. “Dembare and Bosso fans are at the forefront of fueling this tribalism and that is not good for our game, as those two clubs should always set the trend that others follow,” he said.
“All those with their ulterior motives must stay at home rather than go to stadiums to disturb matches and spread hate messages,” added a concerned Choruma.

Who does not know that the Bosso supporters are aggressive? Its unfortunate for them that they are the minority otherwise Zimbabwe would not be an easy place to live. I rememebr staying in Bulawayo and having to endure their violent behaviour, whether they have won or not.
