He said the omission was a setback but vowed to return to national duty once fit.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"624\" data-end=\"824\">He reflected on the effort he put in leading up to the selection, saying he had sacrificed heavily for both club and country. He added that his absence was unavoidable due to physical limitations.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"826\" data-end=\"1036\">Despite the personal setback, Zemura wished the Warriors well ahead of the competition in Morocco and urged fans to rally behind the team. He expressed confidence that Zimbabwe would perform well at the finals.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"1038\" data-end=\"1160\">Read Zemura\u2019s Full Post<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p data-start=\"1038\" data-end=\"1160\">\u201cYou work so hard to achieve the small wins in your career. You give everything to the cause. You sacrifice everything, you work non stop. You fight till you can\u2019t fight no more, just to represent the flag of your blood. Your mothers land your farther\u2019s fields. You work to inspire the youth the ones after you, that\u2019s all it ever was. Now at the final hurdle I\u2019ve fallen, my body has given up I guess that\u2019s the cost. The price you pay, however i will be back. I will defend these colours again. I will lead this team again. For what is Gods will, will be done on earth as it is in heaven. I wish my fellow warriors all the best luck in Morocco, I wish to be with you on the field fighting with you, I know you will be fine I know you will make us proud. I wish you my country the best. Go and defend our colours and make us proud. I\u2019m sorry I can\u2019t be there with you * I\u2019ll be watching from a far but close in spirit! To the fans follow us scream for us shout for us. Again I am sorry Mwana whevu. 2 Corinthians 4:18 As we look not to the things that are seen but to the things that are unseen. For the things that are seen are transient, but the things that are unseen are eternal.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p><h3 class=\"jp-relatedposts-headline\"><em>Related Posts<\/em><\/h3>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<p><!-- .entry-content --><\/p>\n<p>\t<!-- \n\n<footer class=\"entry-footer\">\n\t\t<span class=\"cat-links\">Posted in Local<\/span>\t<\/footer>\n\n -->\n<\/div>\n<p><script data-jetpack-boost=\"ignore\" async src=\"https:\/\/pagead2.googlesyndication.com\/pagead\/js\/adsbygoogle.js?client=ca-pub-1669381584671856\"\r\n     crossorigin=\"anonymous\"><\/script>\r\n<!-- Africa tv video display -->\r\n<ins class=\"adsbygoogle\"\r\n     style=\"display:block\"\r\n     data-ad-client=\"ca-pub-1669381584671856\"\r\n     data-ad-slot=\"3579572842\"\r\n     data-ad-format=\"auto\"\r\n     data-full-width-responsive=\"true\"><\/ins>\r\n<script data-jetpack-boost=\"ignore\">\r\n     (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({});\r\n<\/script><br \/>\n#Zemura #reacts #Warriors #squad #omission<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Warriors player Jordan Zemura has expressed disappointment after being omitted from Zimbabwe\u2019s squad for the upcoming Africa Cup of Nations&hellip;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":44723,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[6],"tags":[6099,1539,346,265,1123],"class_list":["post-44722","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-example-3","tag-omission","tag-reacts","tag-squad","tag-warriors","tag-zemura"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/eduzim.co.zw\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/44722","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/eduzim.co.zw\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/eduzim.co.zw\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/eduzim.co.zw\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/eduzim.co.zw\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=44722"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/eduzim.co.zw\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/44722\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":44724,"href":"https:\/\/eduzim.co.zw\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/44722\/revisions\/44724"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/eduzim.co.zw\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/44723"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/eduzim.co.zw\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=44722"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/eduzim.co.zw\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=44722"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/eduzim.co.zw\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=44722"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
