HOW Mine defender Morris Kadzola risks legal action as he is allegedly refusing to pay back $250 he owes a Bulawayo woman, Fildah Chirara.
RONALD MOYO OWN CORRESPONDENT
Chirara is an executive member of Dynamos supporter’s Bulawayo chapter. Kadzola is reported to have borrowed the money last year when he was facing financial problems while turning out for Dynamos.
Instead of dealing with his debt, Kadzola threatened to deal with Southern Eye for publishing the story, alleging that Chirara was using the media to destroy his reputation.
He also threatened not to pay the complainant saying Southern Eye must pay her.
He said: “I do not owe her that amount, her money is $100. She will get her money from your newspaper. I am not going to give it to her. Do what she sent you to do, I do not care. I will also do what I can, I will send someone to your work place as soon as you finish writing your story to see you,” said Kadzola.
Chirara told Southern Eye Sport yesterday: “I knew him when he was playing for Dynamos and there was a time when he stopped playing for the team sometime last year. He always called me here in Bulawayo asking me to borrow him some money which I used to give to him in small amounts.
“It has amounted to $250, but he is now refusing to give me back my money. At some point he sent me a Whatsapp message threatening to tell the court that we are in love if I dare report him to the police. He said he was in a position to pay me $5 per month,” she said.

Chirara also revealed that the Chikurupati defender promised to pay her money last year in December, but never fulfilled his promise.
He then promised to pay Chirara soon after coming from camp before How Mine’s 4-0 mauling of Zanzibar’s Chuoni FC at Barbourfields Stadium in the first leg preliminary round of the Confederation Cup a fortnight ago.
“He told me that he was coming to Bulawayo to play for How Mine and initially promised to pay me in December, but he did not do as he promised,”she added.
“I then started sending him Whatsapp messages asking him to give me back my money. He promised that he will give me my money as soon as they returned from camp. They came back and played against Chuoni and he went silent.”
Kadzola who arrived in the country on Monday from Zanzibar initially promised to pay back Chirara’s money on Tuesday, but denied the figure saying he owes her only $100.
