Chiyangwa targets Caf

NEWLY-elected Council of Southern Africa Football Associations (Cosafa) president, Philip Chiyangwa has set his sights on a top Confederation of African Football (Caf) post.

The Zifa boss was elected unopposed for the post at the regional elective congress on Saturday in South Africa, after Danny Jordan of South Africa pulled out of the race, and long-serving president Suketu Partel of Seychelles decided against re-election.

Chiyangwa flew back into the country yesterday and was met by a group of supporters at Harare International Airport, where he declared his ambitions to seize control of African football and ultimately the world game.
