The Battle of Zimbabwe between traditional foes Highlanders and Dynamos has been postponed for the third time in three weeks.

The 2018 PSL campaign enters matchday 21 this weekend with all matches being played as scheduled, except the Highlanders-Dynamos showdown.

Two weeks ago, all league matches were suspended ahead of presidential elections as the Zim PSL tried to separate football from politics in a polarised Zimbabwean political landscape.

Following deadly violence that rocked Harare and claimed 10 lives last week, in the aftermath of the presidential vote, the PSL once again postponed matches.

The country’s security authorities feared that the violence could spill into football stadiums.
