Confirmed: Dembare to travel 1 069km by road!

DYNAMOS will have to overcome fatigue as they undertake a 1 069km road journey across two borders into Botswana to fulfill the preliminary round, second leg Caf Champions League football tie against Mochudi Centre Chiefs on Sunday.

Club secretary Webster Chikengezha yesterday said the team would leave Harare at 6am and was scheduled to arrive in Botswana around 10pm, a journey which could take them about 14 hours.

Chikengezha said there was nothing amiss about the travelling arrangements as Lesotho Correctional Services came through Botswana and left Gaborone at around the same time and arrived in Harare around 11pm for their first leg encounter against Dynamos.

"The team is leaving tomorrow (today) at 6am and is scheduled to arrive around 10 or 11pm the same day. The team will use the bus donated by Nyaradzo Funeral Services and it's possible to arrive the same day," said Chikengezha.

The champions will hit the 438km road journey to Bulawayo before another 100km to the Plumtree border post. From there, they will take another hour's journey to Francistown, which is 95km from Plumtree, before a gruelling 436km journey to Gaborone. Dynamos are the second team in the last few days to travel to Gaborone by road after the Mighty Warriors also made the same trip for the African Women Championship qualifier.
