The simmering discontent within the Dynamos camp has reached a critical juncture, potentially leading to a significant upheaval that threatens the club’s stability.
Financial troubles, as profound as the depths of the Mariana Trench, have opened a chasm that risks draining the team of its top talent. Against the backdrop of the transfer window’s allure, Zim Now has learned that several key players are eyeing exits, drawn by the promise of better prospects in both the Premier Soccer League and Division 1.
Rooted in a tangled web of unkept promises, the current player unrest stems from a bitter cocktail of unfulfilled sign-on fees, stagnant winning bonuses, and salaries that arrive unpredictably, despite assurances from Sakunda Holdings.

The fallout from the Independence Cup victory has only exacerbated tensions. Allegedly promised a 40% bonus, players were reportedly dismayed to receive only 25%, a stark contrast to their sacrifices on the field.
The once-vibrant spirit in the Dynamos camp has been replaced by a pervasive demoralization. Speaking anonymously, one player lamented, “Motivation? It’s a luxury we can’t afford anymore. Every day feels like a battle for survival, just to make it to training.”
Acknowledging their financial crisis, Dynamos executives have reluctantly admitted to seeking partnerships to stabilize their finances, particularly to fund overdue bonuses and address mounting debts. However, assurances of imminent sponsorship and bonus settlements were met with skepticism.
The looming prospect of a player exodus casts a shadow over Dynamos’ forthcoming CAF campaign, jeopardizing their aspirations for continental success if key talents depart.
Adding to the gloom, an executive disclosed the coach’s ambitious plans for squad reinforcements, though financial constraints threaten to derail these ambitions. “We want to provide the coach with everything he needs,” the executive acknowledged, “But our current financial situation is dire. We simply cannot afford the quality required.”
