KWEKWE – Zimbabwe Football Association (ZIFA) president Nqobile Magwizi has praised Prophetic Healing and Deliverance (PHD) Ministries leader Prophet Walter Magaya for constructing the second stadium built in Zimbabwe after independence in 1980.
Magaya is spearheading the construction of Chahwanda Stadium (Heart Main Arena) in Kwekwe and the facility is set to be the home of ambitious side Hard Rock Football Club.
The Yadah FC president is working in collaboration with Kwekwe’s gold mogul Shepherd Chahwanda who owns Hard Rock FC.
It is Magaya’s role in developing football infrastructure that impressed Magwizi during his visit at the stadium on Wednesday.
“This is impressive. Remember, this is the second stadium built in Zimbabwe after independence,” Magwizi said.
Accompanied by the ZIFA board member in charge of project and infrastructure, Brighton Ushendibaba, Magwizi added:
“We have traveled to Spain and England, and this stadium will match the quality we have seen worldwide.
“The challenge is that as Zimbabweans, we often undermine each other’s work, but this is truly remarkable.”
Magwizi’s comments come as construction at Chahwanda Stadium progresses, with stands already installed, bucket seats in place while the pitch is now undergoing some final touches.
Additionally, the adjacent B-Arena is also under development.
Magaya revealed that additional facilities including shops, a small mall, ZIFA offices, basketball and tennis courts are being incorporated into the new facility.
Point of correction, for build the school ground.
Just shows where u taking the country into
Thank you Prophet W Magaya and Sir Shephard Chahwanda for ploughing back to the community, may God continue to bless,protect and give you more wisdom.
If Magwizi is praising this then we have a bigger problem going forward. A proper stadium is suppose to carry more than 40 thousands spectators not this shit you are calling stadiums
I think this man should be given a tender to renovate National sports stadium to suit for FIFA rules
That's specifically your mandate the nation is waiting for you to start showing progress
National sports stadium was built in 1987
Thats Dr Magaya to you… make no mistake
School grounds kkkkkk
Why don't you say a small stadium for the Community
Thank you Prophet Magaya
Why do u call somebody a Boss yet he can't even relocate an existing stadium?
Aaah he has another one in Harare as if he doesn’t know
Praising smeone for school ground without national stadium mere shame
By praising a certain individual with a weak financial background you are exposing some of us making 40kg of gold every week and crude oil pipe lines
But national sports stadium was built after independence so this must be the 3rd
Those weird-looking structures are only called STADIUMS in weird countries.
It's better than buying toys for grown up kids 🤣
Hazvinyadziwo here kutoti second stadium built after 1980 🤣🤣
So we've a zifa president now
So all of them where built by Smith except 2?
Man of God wasting time & resources on sports instead of preaching and charity.
