Send Warriors to army barracks for national service, says Zanu-PF MP (Video)

ZANU-PF MP for Harare East, Terrence Mukupe, asked if the Government had a policy like some West African nations of detaining a team, which would have failed the nation, at some military barracks.



Mukupe said the Warriors were paid a huge sum of money for their Gabonese adventure and needed to repay some of it by doing some national service for the country. Sports and Recreation Minister Makhosini Hlongwane said Government did not have such a policy.

Hlongwane apologised to the nation for the Warriors' failed Nations Cup campaign. The minister said they had a grand plan to address that in future through the establishment of academies and the development of selected talent picked from around the country.

Buhera South legislator Joseph Chinotimba questioned if it was not possible for the Warriors to repay some of the money they got for their show in Gabon.
