The Zimbabwe Football Federation has canceled three top division football matches because of security reasons. Indeed the games between Highlanders and Triangle, Tsholotsho Pirates and Mutare City and Hwange and Bulawayo City have been canceled after consultation with the police.
There are fears that protests against Robert Mugabe might take place, but there has been no confirmation so far. The Zimbabwe football federation does not want to take any risk and has therefore canceled these matches.
However, the game between FC Platinum and Caps United will go on as previously scheduled. This will be an important game as far as the title is concerned.
