In a worrying incident, Dynamos players Frank Makarati and Tendaishe Magwaza were involved in a car accident on their return journey from Botswana last night.
Fortunately, the duo has been discharged from the hospital and is reported to be in stable condition.
The close call has sparked concern among football fans, highlighting the need for clubs to prioritize player safety during long-distance travel.”
Clubs should ensure players’ safety, especially after exhausting travel. Allowing fatigued players to drive themselves home is irresponsible,” said one concerned fan.
Another fan echoed similar sentiments: “This is a wake-up call for clubs. For long trips, arrange accommodations to avoid player fatigue. Dynamos should have stopped in Bulawayo overnight and continued today.”
The incident has ignited a crucial conversation about player welfare and safety protocols in Zimbabwean football.
Clubs are urged to reassess their travel arrangements, considering factors like fatigue, distance, and accommodation to prevent similar incidents in the future.
The Dynamos management has not yet released an official statement on the matter.
Get well soon, Frank and Tendaishe
