In the late 1980s, Shu-Shine were playing in Division Two, the third tier of football in Zimbabwe. The owners purchased a Division One franchise and then won promotion in 1991.[4] In 1992, they finished 14th of 14 but were not relegated because the breakaway Zimbabwe Premier League expanded from 14 to 16 clubs.[5] However, in 1993, Shu-Shine finished bottom of the table again and were relegated. Shu-shine were known for their players Tavaka Gumbo and Isaac Riyano, who were both included in the Soccer Star of the Year 1993 calendar despite Shu-shine's relegation, and for a tactical, pass-heavy style of play.[6][7]
The team had several coaches during its two years in the top division, including Hamid Dhana, who had appeared for the Zimbabwean national team in the 1980s.[4][8]
