ZIFA boss Rushwaya bounces back

They say a cat has 9 lives, well for ZIFA boss Henrietta Rushwaya that is now probably true. Just 48 hours after being suspended by the outgoing ZIFA board the association was forced to re-instate her.

Rushwaya’s lawyers wrote to the Zimbabwe Football Association advising them their suspension was unconstitutional as it had not followed proper procedures.

Rushwaya was suspended by the board pending investigations into Monomotapa Football Club’s trip to Malaysia last year during which they posed as the Zimbabwe national team.

Nyatanga told a news conference on Monday: “After consultations with our lawyer, we have since been advised that the decisions passed in Masvingo last Saturday were null and void.

“We asked for legal advice and were told that it was improper and unconstitutional to take such a route … that it was improper and unconstitutional and we have decided to nullify all resolutions related to that meeting.”
