THE entire Dynamos executive has been booted. There are reports that the club - which has been hit by several lawsuits from former players claiming their unpaid dues - is being choked by a staggering US$500 000 debt.
A proposed friendly international between Dynamos and South African champions Orlando Pirates, set for the Rand Stadium in Johannesburg on Saturday to raise awareness about the virtues of fighting xenophobia, now hangs in the balance.
The Dynamos board of directors claimed last night that they were not aware of the special match, which was being organised by the sacked leadership, where the Glamour Boys were set to be paid an appearance fee of R90 000, with the game being supported by the City of Johannesburg.
Dynamos directors, who met in Harare on Saturday, overwhelmingly voted to dissolve the club's leadership and a media conference is set to be held in the capital either today or tomorrow to announce the changes.
Sources at Zifa and the PSL yesterday confirmed receiving official correspondence from the Dynamos board of directors advising them of changes that had been effected in the club's leadership.
Another letter was sent to PSL chief executive, Kenny Ndebele, advising him of the changes made in the club's structures.
Sources indicated last night that the club's directors decided to sack the executive because they were unhappy with the debt levels at the team, estimated to be around US$500 000, and they also believed there were a number of grey areas in the financial report presented for the last year.
