FORMER champions, Dynamos, eager to reclaim the championship this term after they were beaten to the title by Bulawayo side Chicken Inn, have raided old enemy Highlanders to sign midfielder Valentine Ndaba.

Dynamos president, Keni Mubaiwa yesterday confirmed they had snapped up Ndaba.
“I can confirm we have signed midfielder Valentine Ndaba from Highlanders,” he said.
“We are signing players according to their positions and we are now looking for a striker. Once we get one striker, we will be done with our signings. Many people have been saying we have not been busy in the transfer market, but what they didn’t know was that we were quietly doing our business.”
This comes a few days after the Glamour Boys announced the capture of Caps United midfield workhorse, Dominic Mukandi, one of their major signings so far, who crossed the great divide to join the bitter rivals.
Mukandi was one of the pillars of Caps United last season together with Joel Ngodzo under Lloyd Chitembwe, who led them to a credible fifth position.
