ZIFA Southern Region Division One outfit Zebra Revolution has entered into a partnership with United States of America (USA) based Vision 2 Africa all in a bid to support local youth sporting and academic empowerment.Zebra Revolution is owned by ex-Highlanders player and Zimbabwe international Mkhokheli Dube.

Vision 2 Africa was co-founded by Nyasha Dube and Sali Mugala.Speaking from his base in the USA, Nyasha said: “Yes we have entered into a partnership with Zebra Revolution and we hope to have more partners in the future as long as they share the same vision as us of empowering the youth and giving them opportunities.”

Vision2Africa is not only bent on just shaping soccer careers but transforming lives and their mission is to unearth the abundant talent scattered across the communities of Southern Africa and provide aspiring young players with the opportunity of a lifetime – a soccer scholarship in the US.

They believe that education is the key to unlocking endless possibilities, providing versatility and opening doors to a world of opportunities beyond the soccer field.

Dube, who studied Business Administration and Communications during his time in the US, said he was feeling on top of the world that Vision2 Africa has identified him as their head recruiter in Zimbabwe and strategic partner.

“I’m hoping that we change as many lives for the student-athletes. The vision that keeps me going is clear as we look to empower the youth and change lives. It’s all about giving another human being a chance to change their lives and fulfill their desire,” said Dube.

“As for having Vision2Africa partnering with Zebra Revolution, it is a great opportunity for the club to show that we not catering to football-talented athletes only but to academics as well because our goal is to create great human beings in the society.”
