Sports Reporter —

SEASONED women’s football administrator Rosemary Kanonge has bounced back into mainstream administration after she was elected unopposed for the top post.The women’s football elections will be held this Saturday in Harare but the process have been rendered academic after all the executive committee members were nominated unopposed.

Kanonge served as a board member in charge of finance under the previous board which was led by Mavis Gumbo from 2010 to 2014 which changed the face of women’s football.

Samkeliso Silengane, who also briefly served in the Gumbo board before she was suspended, will be the second in charge..

Music promoter Barbra “Mai Red Rose” Chikosi and Samkeliso Ndhlovu were also elected unopposed as executive committee members.

Meanwhile, the Mighty Warriors are expected to leave today for the Africa Women Cup of Nations which begins on Saturday in Cameroon.
