He is currently on international duty with the Zimbabwe national team, and a strong showing at the Africa Cup of Nations (AFCON) could further elevate his market value.<\/p>\n<p>According to <em>Soccer Laduma<\/em>, Durban City chairman Farook Kadodia confirmed that discussions had taken place with the player, but his AFCON participation has delayed progress in the negotiations.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI spoke to him now before the boy went to the national team. So they are delaying it because they want the player to come back from the national team and then only they can negotiate and whatever,\u201d Kadodia told the publication.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cBut understand, they\u2019re very smart because they\u2019re looking to see if anybody can spot him. So leave them. When they come back and they get no offers, they must come to our terms.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Navaya is also attracting interest from several other clubs, including Zimbabwean champions Scotland FC.<\/p>\n<p><h3 class=\"jp-relatedposts-headline\"><em>Related Posts<\/em><\/h3>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<p><!-- .entry-content -->&#13;<br \/>\n&#13;<br \/>\n\t<!-- \n\n<footer class=\"entry-footer\">\n\t\t<span class=\"cat-links\">Posted in Local<\/span><span class=\"tags-links\">Tagged 2025 afcon, Durban City, Warriors, Washington Navaya<\/span>\t<\/footer>\n\n -->&#13;\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#AFCON #participation #delays #talks #Washington #Navaya #South #African #topflight #side<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>&#13; &#13; &#13; &#13; South African Betway Premiership side Durban City are in talks to sign TelOne and Warriors forward&hellip;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":10682,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[6],"tags":[942,301,1151,9201,5212,1403,150,1012,692,3935],"class_list":["post-46023","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-example-3","tag-afcon","tag-african","tag-delays","tag-navaya","tag-participation","tag-side","tag-south","tag-talks","tag-topflight","tag-washington"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/eduzim.co.zw\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/46023","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=46023"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/eduzim.co.zw\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/46023\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":46024,"href":"https:\/\/eduzim.co.zw\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/46023\/revisions\/46024"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/eduzim.co.zw\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/10682"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/eduzim.co.zw\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=46023"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/eduzim.co.zw\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=46023"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/eduzim.co.zw\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=46023"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
