NORMAN MAPEZA’S FC Platinum shot to the top of the table on Saturday after condemning Yadah Stars to their fourth straight defeat at Mandava.

New boy Gift Mbweti and Gerald Takwara struck for FC Platinum as the Zvishavane side cruised to a 2-0 win that pushed them to 19 points.

Prophet Walter Magaya gave coach Jairos Tapera a reprieve and he was on the bench yesterday but the gaffer could not stop Yadah Stars from suffering their fourth consecutive defeat.

It looks like Harare City coach Mike Madzivanyika is on his way out after his charges fell 0-1 away to Chapungu who registered their first win of the season.

Veteran striker Tinei Chitora was on target for Chapungu who moved from the basement to 16th on the log standings.

Harare City are still mired in the relegation zone on 15th position.

Bantu Rovers gave Highlanders a scare when they scored after only 10 minutes through a Peter Mudhuwa on goal but Bosso hit back four minutes courtesy of King Nadolo before star striker Prince Dube rose from the bench to  snatch the winner for the Bulawayo giants in the 62nd minute.

Bulawayo City picked up their third win of the season against winless Tsholotsho at Dulivhadzimo, beating the beleaguered side 2-1.

Mukululi Moyo (penalty) and Munyaradze Mungadze were on target for Bulawayo City while Tawanda Zibaka got one for Tsholotsho FC.
