History

In the late 1980s, Shu-Shine were playing in Division Two, the third tier of football in Zimbabwe. The owners purchased a Division One franchise and then won promotion in 1991. [4] In 1992, they finished 14th of 14 but were not relegated because the breakaway Zimbabwe Premier League expanded from 14 to 16 clubs. [5] However, in 1993, Shu-Shine finished bottom of the table again and were relegated. Shu-shine were known for their players Tavaka Gumbo and Isaac Riyano, who were both included in the Soccer Star of the Year 1993 calendar despite Shu-shine's relegation. [6] [7]

The team had several coaches during its two years in the top division, including Hamid Dhana. [4] [8]
