Team manager Shakespeare Chinogwenya confirmed that the former Warriors skipper left the country on Wednesday for the East African country.

Chinogwenya said Mwanjale was joining league champions Young Africans, but reports from Tanzanian media yesterday suggested that the former Sundowns defender had signed for rivals Simba SC.

He becomes the second player to leave the Green Machine this week after goalkeeper said Chris Mverechera was snapped up by Ngezi Platinum.

“Method Mwanjale and Chris Mverechera are no longer with us. Mwanjale has joined Young Africans and Mverechera is now with Ngezi Platinum,” said Chinogwenya, who was in the process of trying to register goalkeeper Edmore “Zikeeper” Sibanda with the Premier Soccer League as back-up to first choice goalkeeper Jorum Muchambo.

Caps United assistant coach Mark Mathe said while they were saddened by the departure of the pair, they had enough replacements to carry the team forward.

Mwanjale joined Caps United last year, but was only registered to play this year, marking his return with a second half appearance in the team’s season opener against Chapungu.

His return was, however, marred by his arrest on allegations of stabbing a Harare man, Tendai Hunzvi, following an altercation. Hunzvi later withdrew the charges.

Mwanjale was expected in Dar-es-Salaam yesterday to join the rest of his teammates to start preseason training.

Simba SC, who tried unsuccessfully to lure Warriors coach Kalisto Pasuwa, are also home to former Dynamos midfielder Justice Majabvi.

Majabvi made 42 appearances for the team last season, but reports from Tanzania suggest that he is leaving for Austria. The 32-year-old was based in Austria from 2009 to 2012 playing for Lask Linz.

“Majabvi does not want to return to Simba, his wife wants them to go to Austria to finish his career there and get automatic citizenship. Majabvi has been placed on the list of players who are expected to leave the club Simba SC and they have started looking for a replacement,” reported a local paper yesterday.

The former Lancashire Steel player joined Simba SC last season from Hai Phong FC of Vietnam.

Meanwhile, other reports also say Walter Musona is also in Tanzania where he is angling a move to Young Africans, the team with two other Zimbabweans in Thabani Kamusoko and Donald Ngoma.
