Sofapaka will be hoping to overturn a 2-1 first leg deficit at Mandava Stadium after losing to the platinum miners in their backyard at Nyayo National Stadium on February 15.
Zifa spokesperson Xolisani Gwesela yesterday confirmed the East Africans would jet into the country tomorrow aboard Kenyan Airways.
“Sofapaka will arrive in Harare on Thursday aboard Kenyan Airways and then fly to Bulawayo before travelling by road to Zvishavane. The match on Saturday will be handled by officials from Botswana,” Gwesela said.
They will put up at Pote Hills Lodge.
Brian Muzondiwa and Donald Ngoma scored for FC Platinum in Nairobi.
After losing to Platinum, two weeks ago, Sofapaka coach Sam Timbe told media in Kenya that he was not worried about the defeat and they had conceded silly goals.

“I have been in this (football) business for many years and I know anything can happen,” he said.
“I’m not in any way worried with the defeat, but concerned with the manner we conceded the two goals. They were cheap goals and yet we created over five clear-cut chances which we should have converted. It’s quite unfortunate, but I have not given up. The war is still on and we will fight to the end.”
