The Zimbabwe Football Association (ZIFA) will tomorrow release names of people that will oversee elections for its five affiliates, the Premier Soccer League (PSL), Central Region, Eastern Region, Masvingo Province and Beach Soccer. Zifa chief executive officer Jonathan Mashingaidze said the PSL, Beach Soccer and Masvingo Province will hold their elections on March 5, with the Central and Eastern Regions conducting their polls the following day.
“Everything is set for the elections and the electoral committee has already deployed its members to various areas for purposes of monitoring and overseeing the voting processes.
“The names of electoral committee members that will be involved in these elections will be released on Wednesday,” said Mashingaidze.
It is, however, the PSL elections pitting Highlanders’ chairman and incumbent PSL vice-chairman Peter Dube and Dynamos president Kenny Mubaiwa for the top post which have attracted the most interest.
The PSL chairmanship fell vacant after Zifa ordered fresh elections following revocation of the previous national association board that had the league’s chairman Twine Phiri.
Despite the clubs backing Phiri, Zifa insisted that the former Caps United major shareholder could not stand because he was neither a club president nor chairman. Both PSL candidates are confident of victory.
“The PSL work and activities are there for everyone to see what we’ve done. We’ve run a competitive league, tried to be as fair and administratively correct to every club. I’m not one of the people who say I’ve been asked by people to go there, I was in there, I know the work we were doing and I want to do it in the best interest of our game,” said Dube.
