CAPS United president Farai Jere has moved to calm growing unrest among the club’s passionate supporters after convening a meeting with fans on 28 July 2026, as the Harare giants continue to struggle through one of their most disappointing spells of the Zimbabwe Premier Soccer League season. The meeting, which was open to all CAPS United supporters, came against the backdrop of mounting frustration over the team’s alarming decline in form.
The Green Machine has managed just one victory in its last nine league matches, a run that has seen the club lose momentum in the title race while slipping further behind the leading pack. The poor sequence of results has sparked criticism from supporters, with many questioning the team’s performances, tactical approach and consistency.
Recognising the growing discontent, Jere invited supporters to an engagement session in Harare on Tuesday afternoon, describing it as an opportunity for the club leadership to listen directly to the concerns of the Makepekepe faithful. The initiative was widely viewed as an effort to rebuild trust between the club hierarchy and supporters during a difficult period.
While emotions have been running high, Jere has publicly maintained his confidence in head coach Takesure Chiragwi, insisting the technical team still has his backing despite the recent slump. He believes the current challenges can be overcome if players regain confidence and begin converting performances into positive results.
Supporters have expressed concerns over the team’s inability to close out matches, defensive lapses and a lack of cutting edge in attack. The poor run has also raised fears that another prolonged winless streak could derail CAPS United’s ambitions of returning to the summit of Zimbabwean football.
The pressure is particularly intense given the club’s rich history. CAPS United remains one of Zimbabwe’s most successful football institutions, boasting five league championships and a loyal fan base that expects the team to compete consistently for major honours.
With crucial fixtures looming, the meeting between Jere and supporters may prove to be a defining moment in the club’s season. If the dialogue succeeds in restoring unity between management, players and fans, CAPS United could yet find the momentum needed to revive its campaign.
However, if results fail to improve quickly, the scrutiny surrounding the technical bench and the playing squad is likely to intensify. For now, Jere has chosen engagement over silence, sending a clear message that the concerns of the supporters are being heard as the Green Machine searches for a way out of its current slump.
