Asiagate, local match fixing under spotlight

deliberate on a number of issues that include among others the Asiagate and local match-fixing allegations.
Dube’s board will update the country’s supreme sports body, led by renowned Bulawayo lawyer Joseph James, on the governance and management issues, the goal project as well as the grassroot football project.
The Asiagate and the local match fixing allegations, especially in the Central Region Division One League has seen a total of five board members being suspended, three for their role in the Asiagate scandal and two for their alleged role in the Centralgate.
The Centralgate also led to the suspension of a former referee, and two councillors.
Another controversial issue which is on the agenda is the Dynamos and Democratic Republic of Congo based TP Mazembe’s dubious financial support arrangement.
In the deal, TP Mazembe offered the 2011 Castle Lager Premier Soccer League champions $400 000 so that the Harare giants could fulfill four of their remaining Champions League matches.
The then Dynamos chairman Farai Munetsi confirmed that his club had been offered the controversial $400 000 aid package by a group of middlemen claiming to be representing the wealthy Congolese businessman Moise Katumbi but he turned down the offer.
Katumbi is the owner of TP Mazembe, one of the richest clubs on the African continent and two time winners of the Champions League.
