Norman Mapeza has hinted at adding a few Zimbabweans in his Chippa United squad.<\/p>\n

The gaffer who joined the club early in the month is not impressed with current selection and is looking to beef it up in the January transfer window.<\/p>\n

There are two Zimbabwean players already in the Chippa team \u2013 twin brothers Elvis and Kevin Moyo.<\/p>\n

Speaking to KickOff.com, Mapeza said: \u201cThings are going to be difficult here, we need to bring in new faces. It\u2019s clear, we need to bring in new faces,\u201d Mapeza said.<\/p>\n

\u201cI have to be honest with you. I didn\u2019t come here to perform miracles. I\u2019m a football coach, and I know this terrain. If things don\u2019t go well, for me as a coach you either resign or you get fired.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe have to look for new players, but for now we have to work with what we have until December,\u201d he revealed.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe have been talking about maybe getting some players on loan, maybe in the first division. If it means bringing one or two guys from Zimbabwe, I have to do that because upfront we need people who can score goals.\u201d<\/p>\n

Mapeza took charge of his first match two weeks ago and won 1-0 against Bloemfontein Celtic in the Telkom Knockout. He then lost to Highlands Park 2-0 in the league in his second encounter played over the weekend.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
