Bantu Rovers’ defence continues to leak like a sieve.

Methembe Ndlovu’s youthful side succumbed to an 18th defeat of the season after falling 0-3 to Hwange at the Colliery Thursday afternoon.

Delic Murimba, Justine Kaunda and Crybert Muvuti were on target for Hwange who have been picking up points since the arrival of Bigboy Mawiwi.

Bantu Rovers, who anchor the 18-team log, have now conceded a total of 49 goals in 24 matches.

Hwange pushed to 23 points but remain 16th behind Shabanie Mine who have accumulated 25.

For Bantu, they are as good as relegated as the league heads towards the business end.
