Zifa commissions team to run elections


Lazarus Sauti

Zifa president, Dr Curthbert Elkana Dube yesterday commissioned the Electoral Committee which will be responsible for supervising very delicate football election processes for the next four years.

This follows a Fifa directive which states that all elections should be run by an electoral committee established in terms of the Fifa electoral code.

He said: “The new Zifa electoral committee, established in terms of the Zifa electoral code’s article 3.1, is an independent body charged with overseeing the electoral processes in respect of the nominations, vetting of candidates, production of final list of candidates, production of electoral material, namely nomination forms, ballot papers and the holding of the elections.”

“A composite report shall be submitted to the Zifa board by the electoral committee at the end of March 2014.”

The 11-member committee comprises Elizabeth Banda, a qualified sports administrator; Musekiwa Mbanje, a third year Law student at the University of Zimbabwe; Tichawana Nyahuma, a legal practitioner; Tendai Madzorera, former Zifa Vice President; Charles Sibanda, member of the Zifa High Performance Technical Committee; Sello Nare, Labour Court of Zimbabwe Judge; and Tinofara Kudakwashe Hove, Lawyer.

Retired Judge Kennedy Sibanda, a consultant on legal matters; Cornelius Bganya and Passious Masunda, Zifa Honorary members; and Ralph Maganga, Zifa legal advisor, are also in the same committee.

Dr Dube also said the Committee’s secretary Jonathan Mashingaidze, Messrs Cornelius Bganya, Passious Masunda and Ralph Maganga will be ex officio members by virtue of their current placement in football.

Mashingaidze is the Chief Executive Officer; Messrs Cornelius Bganya and Passious Masunda are Zifa Honorary members and Ralph Maganga in the Zifa Lawyer.

Dr Dube emphasised that the strategic committee is an independent body whose brief is to supervise a very delicate electoral process.

Madzorera accepted the challenge and thanked the Zifa boss and the board for the appointments, highlighting that it was an honour to the members.

He also promised the Zifa president that the committee is going to work hard for the development of soccer in the country.

Why the hell are men and women prepared to poison themselves for sex?

Lazarus Sauti Tim Marufu uses Congo dust, a sex enhancing drug from the Democratic Republic of Congo, to prolong his erection. He said the aphrodisiac, which is rubbed on the male organ, results in lengthy sex rounds. “ NeCongo dust unoanchor mudhara, unochimhanya (With Congo dust you can enjoy length sex sessions). “ Uyu mushonga wechikwapuro; ukangozora chete simbi yako inozhamba (This drug is powerful. If you properly apply it, your partner will cry in bed),” said Marufu, adding that “the powder prolongs an erection for up to an hour if applied correctly.” Explaining how Congo dust works, he says, “You just take a pinch and rub it at the tip of your organ at least three hours before being intimate.” During the process of an erection, he added, the penis enlarges and stiffens as a result of changes within muscles, nerves and blood vessels of the organ .

Are butt-fattening pills real?

Lazarus Sauti Large posteriors are beautiful marks for most African women and despite health hazards and side effects such as kidney failure, blurred vision, sedation, dry mouth and gastrointestinal, women jostle to get them. In Zimbabwe, most women use Apetito tablets, illegal injections as well as chicken-fattening pills to acquire fake behinds. These illegal tablets as well as chicken-fattening pills are smuggled into the country from countries like India, Mozambique, Nigeria, South Africa and Zambia. The Zimbabwe Revenue Authority asserts that an increase in seized contraband of butt-fattening pills shows amplified circulation of such drugs in the country. Recently, alert Zimra officers stationed at Chirundu One-Stop Border Post confiscated a huge consignment of skin lightening creams as well as butt-enhancing tablets which were carefully stashed in a well-carved opening on the trailer of a haulage truck destined for Harare. “Skin lightening creams and “bod

Fake news: An insidious problem

Lazarus Sauti THE INTERNET is an amazing place, crammed with information from different news sites, but the only problem is that some devious elements are using it to cause alarm and despondence as well as destroying people’s lives. An escalating number of fake and spoof sites are exploding on a daily basis, spreading phony reports like wildfire on the Internet. Most people in southern Africa woke up to a bogus news report recently suggesting that popular South African gospel artiste, Lundi Tyamara, had died after suffering from multiple diseases including anal cancer, chest pains and abdominal tuberculosis. The fake story went viral, with fans on social media platforms expressing shock over the artiste’s ‘death’. His manager, Anele Hlazo, however, rubbished the claims, saying “the gospel star is out of danger and his fans should not worry”. Tales of President Robert Mugabe’s ‘death’ also gained grip recently after a ‘R.I.P Robert Mugabe’ Facebook page posted t
