Scottland FC’s Future Threatened As Owner Clashes With Players

Sources told H-metro that the Mabvuku-based club revealed growing tensions between owner Pedzai Sakupwanya and technical staff after his alleged interference in team selection. The situation escalated following their 1-0 loss to Ngezi Platinum, with Sakupwanya confronting coach Tonderai Ndiraya over tactical decisions.

The club’s monthly wage bill exceeding $120,000 has raised eyebrows, with questions about financial management practices.

“Some players are already regretting their moves,” revealed a club source. “Money can’t compensate for this toxic environment.”
