'Let Asiagate criminals face the music'

The alleged “chief planner” of the Asiagate football match-fixing scam, former Zifa chief executive officer (CEO) Henrietta Rushwaya, says her hands are clean and those responsible for the corrupt dealings should face the music.

Rushwaya spoke to NewsDay Sport yesterday following the release of the Asiagate report by a Zifa investigating committee chaired by Ndumiso Gumede and comprising Elliot Kasu, Benedict Moyo and Fungai Chihuri as members.
