“I am seeking a position on the Zifa board to contribute to a brighter future for Zimbabwean football,” she said.
“I believe our nation possesses immense talent and passion for the game, and with the right leadership and strategic direction, we can unlock our full potential.”
If elected, Kadzombe promises to prioritise transparency, commitment and responsible financial management.
She emphasises the importance of investing in youth development and collaboration with stakeholders to drive long-term success.
One area Kadzombe is eager to address is the refereeing department.
“Refereeing is a key component of the game, and it is critical that this portfolio is not forgotten, but developed concurrently with other facets of the game,” she said.
Kadzombe aims to ensure that Fifa grants are utilised effectively and that referees receive regular training and support.
Her goals include conducting three or more on-field refresher courses per year, reducing the number of referees in the PSL to improve quality, and promoting integrity and adherence to the national vision.
