Gutu, who took 17 players from his football academy to
Dubai in March, promised the children that he had found interested teams, but
instead squandered the money with his wife and accumulated a huge hotel bill.
Other players managed to return home and Gutu was left
stranded with the eight players.
The children are now expected to leave Dubai for Harare.
“We want to thank our Embassy for rescuing the kids
abandoned by Gutu.
“Gutu left the players and his family unceremoniously and
disappeared to an unknown destination.
“At least there are now smiles on the faces of the kids as
they are ready to leave for Harare,” said the source.
Gutu was reported to have given some of the players’
passports to hotel authorities after failing to settle the bills.
Gutu confirmed to H-Metro that he had fallen on hard times
with the kids and begged parents and guardians of the children for an apology
in a recorded audio. H Metro
