Mandava Stadium
Zvishavane, Zimbabwe
FC Platinum (also known as Ngezi Platinum Stars) made the ground their home in 2011/2012 after promotion to the Zimbabwe Premier Soccer League, turning the site into a proper fortress. The venue underwent major refurbishments in 2012 and 2018 under a 25-year lease held by Mimosa Mining Company, which replaced the old grass and erected new structures.
In 2019, FC Platinum was scheduled to host CAF Confederation Cup group stage matches here, but the venue was declared unfit by CAF due to poor conditions, leading to a move to Barbourfields Stadium in Bulawayo and complaints from opponents Espérance Sportive de Tunis.
On April 22, 2022, a Premier League match between FC Platinum and Highlanders FC was marred by severe crowd trouble after a controversial penalty decision; Highlanders supporters invaded the pitch, threw missiles, and damaged property, resulting in 15 arrests. The stadium is owned by the Zvishavane Town Council, which manages the venue from its office at 1 Corner Goddard & Robert Mugabe Way, Zvishavane.
