In the unforgiving arithmetic of a football season, TelOne FC of Gweru has turned to a familiar hand to steer them from the edge of relegation. By dismissing Saul Chaminuka and recalling Joel Luphahla — the man who once lifted the club into the top flight — the club is wagering that memory and experience can outrun mathematics. Eight matches remain, and the distance between survival and descent is measured not just in points, but in the weight of decisions made under pressure.
