Jaure was driving when the accident occured near Prince Edward School.

He is believed to have been driving when his car veered off the road and hit a tree on the side of the road.

Jaure was trapped in the driver’s seat and bled profusely mainly from the upper body and was later extricated by eye-witnesses.

He was immediately rushed to Parirenyatwa Hospital where he is admitted.

His condition could not be immediately ascertained as doctors were attending to him.

Only this past Thursday, Jaure addressed guests at the Dynamos-Gold Leaf sales function in Avondale.

Yesterday, Jaure was at Callies Sports Club watching his teammates play a friendly against Simba Bhora.

Prominent Dynamos fan Alvin Aluvah Zhakata led with a message of goodwill to the Captain in an early morning Tweet, “Zim Warriors defender 7 Dynamos Captain #PartsonJaure was badly injured in an accident in the early hours of today. Hope that this accident doesnt get him down for a very long time. Get well soon champ”

StarFM broadcaster Steve Vickers confirmed the accident on his Sunday Morning Breakfast Show.

 

“This Is Your Captain Speaking…….”

“I would like to thank Gold Leaf Tobacco and all our other sponsors for taking care of our needs and our families too, that is the reason why some of us are doing what we are doing.

“Having a good sponsor also helps players in motivating them. When people have money they are serious about their work

“I have played in South Africa and Zambia and picked a lot of lessons, in terms of career development, but I miss winning the league title. I decided to come back to Dynamos to win those titles.

“To then come back, after attachments outside the country and other teams on the local scene, and be handed the captaincy means the world to me.

“Such appointments, at a great team like Dynamos, come with increased responsibilities and I should state that I am ready for those responsibilities.

“I salute the technical team and the management who decided to give me this huge responsibility.

“I am ready for the challenge and, come the end of the season, we will be celebrating like we used to do back in 2012 and 2013.’’

“It has been long but I knew the very day I left the team that one day I would be back again,’’

“I believe the team has signed some of the most talented players we have in the country at the moment.

‘’You look at Juan Mutudza, Sylvester Appiah, King Nadolo and Tino Chiunye, to name just a few.

“Those guys are talented and it reminds me of the days when I first arrived at the team.

“Most of us were new but you would look at Denver Mukamba, Devon Chafa, Rodreck Mutuma and others and conclude that we were, indeed, bound to write a piece of history.

“That is the same feeling I have at the moment. But, hard work is everything. I have been telling the guys how we used to do extra training back then with amazing results.”

“We are looking forward to a great season. Our main worry is when the league will start.

“We are aware of the Coronavirus. We just hope they find the cure and just put this thing to end for good.

“We actually can’t wait for the season to start.”

DYNAMOS, NYARADZO RENEW SPONSORSHIP DEAL

Nyaradzo provides the branded bus that transports players to training sessions, matches and elsewhere together with all the fuel required.

Nyaradzo also incorporates all players contracted to the club in its funeral policy plans.

The extension of the partnership was revealed by club Chairman Isaiah Mupfurutsa.

“The good news is that Nyaradzo Group will be with us for the next three years.

“The extension of our partnership with Nyaradzo Group for another three years is another vote of confidence by local partners in the Dynamos brand,” said Mupfurutsa.

DeMbare have also retained sponsorship deals with three other organisations namely ZLG Water, 4 May Fabrics and Fidelity.

Mupfurutsa said they will unveil more partners soon.

‘’In the near future, we will be unveiling some of these partnerships,’’ he said.

“We have already witnessed some great cooperation and engagement from foreign partners like Ligi (Pvt) Limited of Belgium and top Belgian football club, KV Mechelen.

“Our head coach Tonderai Ndiraya was recently in Belgium for two weeks, courtesy of our technical partnership with Ligi and KV Mechelen.

 

Dynamos, Gold Leaf Marriage Extended To Fans

GOOD times continue to roll for Harare giants Dynamos Football Club after their principal sponsor Gold Leaf Tobacco signed a Sales and Distribution Memorandum Of Understanding with the leaders of the club’s fans in Harare yesterday.

www.dembare.net

DeMbare are in the second year of a five-year sponsorship deal with the South African-based tobacco processor through the Rudland & George brand worth ZWL5 million, translating to ZWL1m per year.

The package has since been reviewed upwards to cushion the club from the current inflationary environment.

Gold Leaf Tobacco have been taking care of Dynamos wage bill and all the operational expenses since last year.

This latest deal will see the club supporters playing an active role in pushing sales and raising the market presence of the specific Remington Gold products, one of the Gold Leaf Tobacco brands.

In return the fans are earmarked to benefit a certain percentage of the sales in commission.

Dynamos, as a club, are set to pocket more, in terms of commissions, under this extended agreement where Gold Leaf Tobacco will be selling their Remington Gold products through the club.

Gold Leaf Tobacco company’s representative, Sithabiso Martin said they are happy with their association with the country’s biggest football club and want to see a strong Dynamos emerging again.

“In the last few seasons, it has been disappointing and underwhelming because Dynamos was used to a certain place before, that is at the top. But I am positive because they have now partnered with the right brand.

“We would have loved to host the multitudes of the club’s fans at a larger scale like a stadium, since this is an event for the supporters but due to the current social distancing measures put it place by the government, we could not congregate like that.

“Going forward, we pledge to work well with the Dembare brand together with all the club’s Supporters’ Chapters across the country in pushing both the Dynamos and rebranded Remington Gold brands.

Dynamos Chairman Isaiah Mupfurutsa was naturally elated with the extended agreement and pledged his club’s bid to reposition themselves as the leading football brand on the domestic scene.

“This is a momentous occasion which marks the further strengthening of relations between Dynamos Football Club and our anchor sponsors, Gold Leaf Tobacco Company in Zimbabwe,” said Mupfurutsa.

“We are here to witness the power of football and business’ strategic collaboration, a partnership which shall set the tone for the growth of Zimbabwean football for posterity.’’

“Dynamos Football Club is on a business trajectory and we shall strive to turn the club into a business partner of choice through embracing best practices.

“Poor governance and any other vices now have no place at Dynamos Football Club. We believe that we should be at the front-line in the thrust to embrace professionalism through the FIFA Club Licensing framework.

“We would like to be the champions of best practices in Zimbabwe football, making our club an attractive investment partner.

“The progress we have made to date, in terms of attaining good governance benchmarks, has seen our anchor sponsors increase their support for the club and more partners have begun to show interest in partnering our club, locally and abroad,’’ said Mupfurutsa.

Speaking on behalf of the supporters a member of the Dynamos Supporters Association national executive, Mr Benjamin Munzira thanked the Principal Sponsor for the ground-breaking initiative that is set to involve the fans more in the revolution of the club.

“Dynamos remains a source pride to the faithful 7 million or more supporters across the world. We want to thank Gold Leaf Tobacco for coming up with this initiative to engage the fans of the club.

This sales agreement is a win-win, it finances the club, sponsor and supporter given the huge support base Dynamos has.”

In closing, Munzira assured the players, represented by the club captain, that the fans would rally behind the team in a fervent but peaceful manner this upcoming season,” said Munzira.

Injury Forces Murwira Out Of Dembare Squad

DYNAMOS Football Club has confirmed utility player Godknows Murwira’s time at the club has provisionally come to an end due to a nagging knee injury that has he aggravated in the closing stages of last season.

www.dembare.net

Dynamos assistant coach Gift “Umbro” Muzadzi confirmed Murwira will not be registered for the first half of the 2020 season.

Murwira is an FC Platinum player who joined Dembare in July last season on a one-year loan and was hoping to complete his final six months at Dynamos in Tonderai Ndiraya’s much-changed side.

“Murwira is on the road to recovery from a nasty injury. He is getting better but considering the period he will take to be 100 per cent again, we thought it would be prudent for us not to register him for the first half of the season.

“Murwira is one of our best players and it is unfortunate we won’t have him for the first half of this coming season. But the team’s medical staff is working flat out to make sure he comes back even stronger,” Muzadzi said.

The former Ngezi Platinum Stars player is being haunted by his right knee that he originally inured during his time at Ngezi Platinum Stars and has been a notable absence from the Dynamos’ training sessions including bonding sessions and the Dynamos technical team has decided to give him some bit of time to fully recover.

Dynamos team doctor Robert Musara also spoke on the utility player’s injury.

“Murwira’s injury is a long standing one. It is an injury he suffered way back when he was still at Ngezi.

“He had an accident and the injury has been slowly building up. After we did an MR (Magnetic Resonance) scan on him we stopped him from playing because we did not want to do more damage to it.

“In essence, the player needs specialised medical treatment”

“Murwira can still play but he won’t be at his peak, he won’t be 100 percent fit because of this injury, he will be in pain.

“We have since rested the player because we don’t want to worsen the situation” said Musara.

It remains to be seen whether FC Platinum will effectively recall him when his loan deal expires at the end of June or Dembare will re-engage him, everything obviously dependant on the progress he makes in his battle with the injury.

Murwira is one of 3 senior players who was called upon by Ndiraya as the Harare giants struggled in the middle of last season.

The others, striker Evans Katema is now with Zambian giants Zanaco while the pair of midfielder Archieford Gutu and striker Simba Nhivi have since been offloaded

Muzadzi also shed light on their preparations.

“Our preparations have been going on very well and all the players, save for Murwira, are in an excellent shape.Its unfortunate we will no longer be travelling to Mozambique due to the coronavirus but we are not digressing.

On Saturday, Dynamos played against newly-promoted army side Cranborne Bullets and won 2-nil courtesy of David Temwanjira and Ali Maliselo’s goals.

Jaure Handed Dembare Armband

DEFENDER Partson Jaure has been appointed substantive captain of the Glamour Boys for the upcoming PSL season.

www.dembare.net

Coach Tonderai Ndiraya revealed his choice this morning saying Jaure is a figure of influence who will rally the players on the field of play and help connect with the club management and fans.

He will be deputised by Kudzanai Dhemere.

Kudzi Dhemere

Jaure was born on 8 July 1990 and has risen through the Dynamos FC junior ranks to the senior team, though he had brief stints at lower division sides AMC and LaLiga.

Jaure made his breakthrough into the senior team in 2010 where he would partner either Guthrie Zhokinyi or George Magariro in central defence.

He commanded a regular place in the Dembare senior team for 4 seasons and won 6 trophies including 3 successive league titles.

His strong perfomances attracted the interest of SA side University Of Pretoria who snapped him in 2014.

He made 24 league appearances in both his first and his second seasons with the club, including scoring a goal in November 2014 versus Moroka Swallows.

At the end of his second season with Tuks, the club was relegated via the 2015-16 play-offs and Jaure was subsequently released at the end of the season.

Upon his return from South Africa, Partson Jaure joined Ngezi Platinum Stars Football Club under Tonderai Ndiraya and later on crossed the Zambezi to join Zambian top-flight club Buildcon where he did not last for long after his contract was terminated on mutual agreement.

He came back to Zimbabwe and signed for newly promoted PSL outfit Manica Diamonds where he played last season before retracing his roots to Dembare in the off-season.

Jaure’s debut for Zimbabwe came in a 2014 FIFA World Cup qualifier against Egypt on 26 March 2013.

He made a total of three appearances in Zimbabwe’s unsuccessful World Cup qualifying campaign.

In January 2014, coach Ian Gorowa called him into the Zimbabwe squad for the 2014 African Nations Championships (CHAN).

He helped the team to a fourth-place finish after being defeated by Nigeria by a goal to nil.

He made a total of six appearances in the competition.

Ndiraya will certainly have headaches on where to deploy Jaure this season, especially considering the duo of Ghanaian Stephen Appiah and Byron Madzokere seem to have already hit a telepathic understanding in central defence in the preparatory matches played so far.

Warriors Edge Dembare in Friendly

A PENALTY conversion was all that separated the Zimbabwe National Team from Dynamos FC in a friendly match played at Hellenics Sports Club yesterday.

(In the picture, Dynamos players Nkosi Mhlanga in blue and Juan Mutudza in green tussle for the ball in yesterday’s contest)

The home-based Warriors are currently in camp preparing for the Total African Nations Championships (CHAN) to be held in Cameroon from the 4th to the 25th of April 2020.

As part of their preparations, the Warriors visited Dembare at their training base and played a match which saw the former champions put up a commendable show despite playing without 3 key players, Partson Jaure, Juan Mutudza and King Nadolo who all featured for the National team in the match.

Despite that huge setback, the Glamour Boys went toe to toe with the cream of local football with coach Zdravko Logarusic visibly frustrated for long periods of the match.

The Warriors got their solitary goal through a penalty awarded after defender Byron Madzokere was adjudged to have upended Wellington Taderera in the penalty box.

Veteran Harare City midfielder Moses Muchenje stepped up to calmly slot the ball home much to Loga’s relief.

Zimbabwe is in group A with hosts Cameroon, Mali & Burkina Faso and will kick off against the hosts on the 4th of April at 1600hrs.

Dynamos coach Tonderai Ndiraya will draw much satisfaction from yesterday’s performance as he bids to knit a strong team for the upcoming PSL season.

New-Look Dembare Excites Jaure

www.dembare.net

DYNAMOS defender Partson Jaure is excited with the display of vigour by the new-look side ahead of the start of the 2020 season and has compared it to that of the all-conquering squad that swept four Castle Lager Premier Soccer League titles in a row between 2011 and 2014.

Jaure (30), was a key member of that squad coached by Kalisto Pasuwa in what was a major milestone for the Harare football giants.

His impressive performances saw him signing for South African Premiership side, Pretoria University, where he played for some years before returning home to play for Ngezi Platinum Stars and Manica Diamonds.

The defender – the most experienced member of the current squad has, however, re-joined the Glamour Boys ahead of the forthcoming term and has been impressed by the way the new players have applied themselves thus far.

“I think we have a great group of players who have got the hunger to win trophies. They are enthusiastic and working hard at training,” Jaure said.

“We have a great team that has got great potential to achieve success. It reminds me of the team we had during those years when we won the championship four times in a row.

If we continue to work hard and play more practice games, we can return to those great heights again,” he added.

The Dynamos captain-elect said they had a strong squad which was balanced and hoped they could finally win the league title after enduring frustration of living in the shadows of FC Platinum, who have dominated the domestic soccer scene in the past three years

The Harare football giants have been very active during the transfer window in which they signed several stars, including former TelOne and 2019 Soccer Star of the Year finalist King Nadolo.

Some of the stars that have joined are Jeansmith Mutudza, Sylvester Appiah, Byron Madzokere, David Temwanjira, Barnabas Mushunje, Nkosi Mhlanga, Tanaka Chidhobha, Lennox Mutsetse, Tinotenda Chiunye and goalkeeper Tymon Mvula among others

Last season, Dynamos finished a distant eighth on the final league standings. The club hierarchy, however, said they were rebuilding the side and had reconstructed a side that could win honours.

Dembare Overcome Yadah

DYNAMOS Football Club edged out a battling Yadah Stars 1-0 in a pre-season friendly match played at Yadah Complex this afternoon.

Former ZPC Kariba hitman David Temwanjira scored the solitary goal for the Boys In Blue.

Ironically Dynamos were clad in a yellow training kit with blue stripes.

This is the second victory for Dynamos this pre-season after beating Simba Bhora 2-nil last week at Hellenics Sports Club.

Dembare used a red training kit then.

Biggie Zuze was in charge of the Glamour Boys as coach Tonderai Ndiraya is away in Belgium on a 2-week attachment.

Sixteen players took part in the match for Dynamos and these were;

Tymon Mvula, Munyaradzi Diya, Lennox Mutsetse, Barnabas Mushunje, Ngandu Mangala, Tawanda Chisi, Kudzanai Dhemere, Emmanuel Jalai, Byron Madzokere, Nkosi Mlanga, Sylvester Appiah, Tinotenda Muringai, Ali Joseph Maliselo, Tanaka Chidhobha, Juan Mutudza and David Temwanjira.

Dynamos immediately returned to Marondera where they are camped as they intensify preparations for the upcoming season.

Nadolo Happy To Be Back Home

DYNAMOS FC newboy King Nadolo, says he is looking forward to a fruitful career after completing his move to his childhood team last week.

The Soccer Star Of The Year finalist is the latest recruit unveiled by the Harare giants in their shopping spree that has seen the club signing 13 players ahead of the start of the new season.

“I am happy, I look forward to a fruitful season with Dynamos,” said Nadolo.

“My hope and prayer is to contribute positively to the overall objectives of the club.

“This means I have to train hard and push myself harder. It’s easier to achieve career goals with a big club like Dynamos,” said Nadolo.

The 24-year old had a fairytale outing in the Castle Lager Premiership last year when he joined relegated side TelOne during the mid-season.

He had been linked with various clubs during pre-season, among them champions FC Platinum, Ngezi Platinum, CAPS United, Chicken Inn and his former club Highlanders.

But, on Friday, he chose Dynamos, a club that gave him the foundation to build his football career between 2008 and 2009.

Nadolo, who played in the Glamour Boys juniors just over a decade ago, severed links with DeMbare when he relocated to South Africa where he completed his high school.

He played schoolboy football in South Africa and when he returned home in 2014 he joined DeMbare’s rivals Highlanders.

But he packed his bags again and resurfaced at Witbank Spurs, who were playing in the lower rungs of South African football.

Keen to resuscitate his career, Nadolo signed for Castle Lager Premiership side TelOne mid-season last year and made an immediate impact by contributing vital goals and assists.

Although the side failed to survive relegation, his individual performances still earned him a place on the Soccer Star of the Year calendar.

He was also chosen by fellow players to win the FUZ Footballer of the Month award in November 2019.
Despite playing half the season, he finished third in the Golden Boot race with 11 goals, three behind the winner Clive Augusto. Nadolo also had five assists for TelOne.

DeMbare spokesperson, Tinashe Farawo, yesterday said their aim was to make the Harare giants competitive again.

The Glamour Boys last won the league title in 2014 when Callisto Pasuwa led them to four consecutive championships.

DeMbare have signed players for almost all the positions.

They have roped in their former defender Partson Jaure, the ex-ZPC Kariba duo of Tinotenda Chiunye and Sylvester Appiah, goalkeeper Taimon Mvula, Juan Mutudza, Byron Madzokere, Nkosi Mhlanga, Barnabas Mushunje, David Temwanjira, and rookies Lennox Mutsetse and Tanaka Chidhobha.

“Our aim is to make sure that we have a team that will be able to compete in the Castle Lager Premiership.

“But the overall goal is one day to return to the CAF Champions League so we are working hand in hand with the coach.

“He (coach Tonderai Ndiraya) has his shopping list and the management is working round the clock to fulfil its mandate by providing the resources that are needed.

“So, as long as it is within our means, we will do our best to buy the quality that the coaches want,” said Farawo.
