Today, First Lady Dr Auxillia Mnangagwa had the privilege of watching an exciting encounter between Scotland FC and CAPS United.

Sport is a powerful instrument for unity, healthy living and national pride. It should bring us together, not divide us. However, violence, hooliganism, drug and substance abuse have no place in our game.

The First Lady once again reiterated her call to supporters, players and club leaders to reject all forms of violence and to uphold discipline and respect at all times.

"Our stadiums must remain safe, inclusive and welcoming spaces where families, women and children can enjoy the beautiful game in peace and dignity. Let us continue to uphold the values of Ubuntu that define us as Zimbabweans," she said.
