Prophet Walter Magaya has cut loose his football team,
Yadah Stars, insisting that the team must find another sponsor.
Magaya is now contemplating either selling or donating the
franchise. The decision on the club’s fate is set to be announced early next
week after a management meeting.
Yadah chairman Everson Chatambudza said they will be in a
better position to know the club’s status for this season after the Monday
meeting. Chatambudza said Prophet Magaya hinted during the Crossover Night on
New Year’s Eve that going forward, he was looking at separating the club from
the ministry, with the club expected to rely on its own sponsorship.
Prophet Magaya has been struggling to manage the football
project as well as they would have wanted. “PHD will be opening a new factory
soon and those guys involved in the day-to-day running of the club are already
busy with that and so the management are looking at how best they can deal with
the soccer club.
“They may just donate it to people who might be interested
in running a team in the league. A decision has to be made soon before the
season starts,” said sources. Magaya has said in the past that Yadah Stars
were never meant to last forever as a Premiership club.
He said he was more committed to the Warriors than his own
football project.
