This is in line with the urgent need for the association to be legally complaint in regard to expectations of the Ministry of Sport and Recreation, Sports and Recreation Commission (SRC) and the Zimbabwe Pool Association (Zipa). These new documents will spell out the structure of how pool is expected to be organized and run in 2018.

The main emphasis of these documents is the need to observe and implement the spirit of good corporate governance,a�? said Mukucha. . .
