Zifa bans 2 officials

ZIFA has banned two of its officials in Masvingo for five years and ordered them to pay back over US$5 000 to four Ghanaian players whom they swindled after promising them employment at a “highly-paying” football club.

Masvingo provincial vice-chairperson Energy Zava and Tinashe Gomba from the finance division appeared before the Zifa disciplinary committee on August 7, 2020 and were found on the wrong side of the law.

The matter came to light after it was reported by NewsDay Sport in April this year that the Ghanaian players were stranded in Chiredzi where they were living in squalid conditions after being abandoned by the people who invited them into the country.
