CASTLE Lager Premier Soccer League champions CAPS United are planning to charter a plane for their Total CAF Champions League first leg preliminary round match against Democratic Republic of Congo champions TP Mazembe.

The match is set for March 12 and Makepekepe’s plan is to fly to the DRC in the morning and return immediately after the match. The second leg is set for Harare a week later.

“Our plans are that we charter a plane, which we think will also be financially friendly for the club. It is an option we are strongly considering and if it comes into fruition we hope to leave in the morning and return immediately after the match,” said CAPS United chief executive officer Cuthbert Chitma.

The five time CAF Champions league winners, TP Mazembe are based in Lubumbashi and are one of the richest clubs in Africa with a rich history of success but Chitima say they are not fazed by that.

“Look we are Zimbabwean champions and TP Mazembe are the DRC champions whom we are playing and this is football, anything can and shall happen, it’s played over 90 minutes. We shall cross the bridge when we get there but as CAPS United we are not fazed by their history,” said Chitima.
