Clad in their classy grey suits provided by the government and sourced
from leading Nairobi fashion house Sir Henry's, the Harambee Stars
touched down safely in Harare ahead of their 2010 World Cup/Africa Cup
of Nations qualifier against Zimbabwe on Sunday.
The Stars' delegation led by Assistant Minister Kabando wa Kabando was
received by Kenyan High Commission staffers who led the team to the
plush Meickles Hotel in down town Harare. Team captain Robert "Boban"
Mambo and Head Coach Francis Kimanzi are confident of a good
result,adding that the support from the government has played a
significant role in their performances. Sport Minister Hellen Sambili
on Thursday donated Ksh 300,000 to be used in buying uniforms for the
team. She had earlier ordered the transfer of 'keeper Arnold Origi
from Avenue Hospital to the Nairobi Hospital where he underwent knee
surgery earlier in the week.
Mambo went on to say that Kenya will not be over confident, but would
stick to their game plan which he felt would get them a favourable
result. Zimbabwe on the other hand are confident of avenging the 2-0
loss with Head Coach Jose Vallinhos looking to the Warriors previous
home game where they Namibia 2-0 and saying Kenya would be easy to
beat.
