How Mine target Ncube, Rio

Defender Milton Ncube, who last week was released by South African Premiership football side Ajax Cape Town, could be returning to play in the local league, with impeccable sources saying the former Warriors defender was on the radar of Castle Lager Premier Soccer League side How Mine.

Ncube was hoping to play more games for the club next season, as he aimed at return to the Warriors, but he could find himself back home if he does not secure another contract down South.

The left full-back, who can also play in a more advanced position, could be re-uniting with his former coach Kelvin Kaindu at How Mine.

The two worked together at Highlanders before they left the club.

“One of the targets for Kaindu during the mid-season transfer window is Milton Ncube. But he (Kaindu) has to wait and see if the player does not get another offer in South Africa,” a source said.

Kaindu is not happy with his defence, particularly the central defenders, with sources suggesting Victor Kamhuka, Marshal Machazane and Nelson Tachi could be on their way out. The How Mine coach is also interested in the services of former Caps United and Moroka Swallows defender Gilbert Mapemba, who is a free agent since leaving the South African side. Peter “Rio” Moyo is also training with How Mine after his contract with Witbank Spurs expired last month.

With so much activity looming, How Mine could be the biggest spenders in this transfer window.

They could be losing Charles Sibanda to South Africa’s Black Leopards, where he had trials recently.

The gold miners held Harare City to a goalless draw on Saturday at Rufaro Stadium, but have gone eight games without a win.

Efforts to get a comment from Kaindu about his transfer targets for the mid-season transfer window were fruitless as his mobile phone was not reachable yesterday.
