LEGENDARY Zimbabwean footballer Ronald Gidiza Sibanda’s whereabouts are still shrouded in mystery as he is still to report home despite making a call to his mother yesterday evening.

Gidiza’s mother Sithokozile Sibanda said Ronald called on the family’s landline and said he was on his way home from Beitbridge.

He never arrived.

“He phoned me last night and said they were on their way from Beitbridge but now its after midday he still hasn’t come home while his mobile phones are still off. I am so worried because even his friend Mphathisi Ndlovu has not been seen,” said Sibanda.

Ronald is believed to have phoned on the landline to avoid being easily traced.

Sibanda said she was a little bit comforted on hearing her son’s voice as it confirmed that he was still alive.

Gidiza left his family’s New Lobengula home on Sunday for Barbourfields Stadium and has not been seen since, forcing his family to make a missing person report with the police.

Sources said he was seen in Beitbridge with another Zimbabwe Warriors legend based in South Africa.
