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 . Marabha, a vendor who sells Congo dust at Cnr. 7 th and Samora Ave in Harare, says Congo dust comes i...

Battered Men: The Hidden Side of Domestic Violence

Lazarus Sauti Maxwell Svedhani (34), a father of two girls from Bhora Juru Growthpoint, Mashonaland East Province, is living a hell of a life as he is mentally, physically and also sexually abused by Runako, her violent wife of nine years. “My wife hits me with her fists, kicks, burns, slams, punches, pushes and bites me in front of our children. On top of that, she oftenly threatens and intimidates me, denies me sex and food as well as locks me out of the house,” he said. Svedhani added that his wife belittles his abilities and competencies, initiates name-calling insults, and silently treats him in addition to subverting his relationship with the children. The battered man, who attempted homicide for four times, is suffering in silence and mostly fears for his children who are witnessing the violence as it is perpetrated by his wife on a daily basis. “My major trepidation is that my two precious girls who are witnessing this violence in our home might develop sig...

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...
