The game between Zimbabwe and Gabon had also been hanging in the balance but the Zimbabwe team manager, Sharrif Mussa, told Zimbabwe state media that the game will go ahead as planned.
“I have received confirmation that we will play Gabon on Tuesday at the Rand Stadium at 15:30. It will be good if we can have two practice matches before the tournament,” he confirmed.
Warriors captain and Dynamos playmaker Patson Jaure and his boys are in group B with Morocco, Burkina Faso and Uganda. This is their third appearance at the tournament and they received a moral boast from the government who availed $88 000 towards their preparations.
They have a relatively strong squad and are pinned as the underdogs who could spring up a surprise.
