The Zimbabwe champions were delayed in the mountain kingdom after their African Champions League preliminary round, second leg match against Lesotho Correctional Services on Sunday.

The team’s board of directors was scheduled to meet yesterday to discuss the petition by players.

The Zimbabwe champions were defeated 1-0 by lowly Lesotho Correctional Services in their preliminary round second leg tie, but still advanced to the first round courtesy of a 3-1 aggregate victory.

But they found themselves in a mini crisis after missing a flight to Johannesburg, SA, on Monday afternoon and had to be bankrolled by the Lesotho FA who paid for their Monday night accommodation in Maseru.

The team arrived at Harare International Airport on Tuesday in three batches.

And players have heaped the blame on Chikengezha for their nightmare.

They have since written a petition to the board requesting them to relieve Chikengezha of his duties.

Dynamos board of directors secretary Chris Kasiyazi yesterday said they were scheduled to meet to deliberate on the issue.

“We will be meeting this morning (yesterday) to deliberate on the issue. I can only comment after that meeting,” he said.

Kasiyazi was not reachable by phone at the time of going to print last night for comment on the outcome of the meeting.

Chikengezha said he could not comment as he had not seen the petition.

However, it is reported the Glamour Boys missed their flight from Maseru’s Moshoeshoe 1 International Airport after players insisted on having lunch at their hotel before boarding the bus to the airport.

The team was scheduled to board the 2:45pm flight to Johannesburg.

But, the team only arrived at the Maseru Airport at 2:30pm with boarding gates, regulated to close 20 minutes before the 2:45pm boarding time, already shut.
