Alliance against Chiyangwa

FORMER Zifa presidents and different football stakeholders met in the capital yesterday and vowed to challenge the legitimacy of the current leadership headed by Philip Chiyangwa, who they accused of running football in the country illegally following the expiry of his term of office on March 29.

The group of former Zifa presidents who include Trevor Caresle Juul, Vincent Pamire and Rafik Khan said they had already engaged the government through the Sports ministry, Fifa and Caf “in order to save the game from sliding into an abyss”.

Two other former presidents, Leo Mugabe and Cuthbert Dube, did not attend yesterday’s meeting “due to other commitments” although Pamire revealed that they were part of the campaign.
