Black Aces Football Club commonly knows as Black Aces was a Zimbabwean professional football club based in Harare. It was founded in 1972 and dissolved in 2001. History. Black Aces was formed from the ashes of Chibuku Shumba in 1977. The team, affectionately named “Shaisa Mufaro” loosely translated to “party-poopers”, is now but distant memory in the minds of football fans. In the 1990s Black Aces, coached by the late great Peter Nyama and later on by Swiss national Marc Duvillard, managed to earn a seat among the country’s top clubs. Nyama steered Black Aces  to the league title in 1992 with a team that boasted the likes of Wilfred Mugeyi, John Mbidzo, Percy Mwase, Stanley Mashezha, Charles Kaseke and Emmanuel Nyahuma, among others. When Black Aces lost their chief financier, Edgar Ricardo-Serafim, they vowed that they would win the BP League Cup as a fitting tribute to the man who gushed out millions of dollars in support of the club. Now the team has reached the final in a manner that would have made even the legendary Brazilian superstar Pele proud. But the ultimate goal is still to be achieved. https://nehandaradio.com/tag/edgar-ricardo-serafim/ In 1999  Francis “Gaza” Jeyman captained the now struggling side to a famous BP Cup triumph.
