FC Platinum has long been a powerhouse in Zimbabwean football. The club’s winning culture and solid financial backing set it apart. In recent years, they’ve paid players well and dominated the league.
Their success inspired fear and respect across the country. However, a new threat has emerged: Scotland FC. Armed with big money, Scotland is challenging traditional giants like FC Platinum and Simba Bhora.
Their rise has intensified the title race. Now, the battle at the top is fiercer than ever. But with stakes so high, whispers of dirty tactics and behind-the-scenes deals are growing louder every week.
FC Platinum finally suspends players for match fixing against Scotland FC
Drama exploded after trusted journalist Makomborero Mutimukulu revealed shocking news. He posted, “FCP Suspend Bizabane & Ndlovu… suspected match fixing of the game against Scotland.” Goalkeeper David Bizabane and right back Thubelihle Ndlovu are the suspended players. Bizabane strongly denied any wrongdoing.
Ndlovu claimed he was only asked about the starting lineup. He named “Spanner” as the person who approached him. FC Platinum has yet to release an official statement. This scandal brings back painful memories of Zimbabwe’s match-fixing past.
The Asiagate scandal in 2012 rocked the nation, leading to lengthy bans for many players and officials. Fans worry that history could repeat itself. With the title race so tight, these accusations could tarnish the league’s reputation again. Supporters now wonder how deep the problem goes. Zimbabwean football faces another big test.
