The Sports and Recreation Commission (SRC) is set to suspend 23 Zifa councilors accused of accepting inducements from aspiring candidates in the association’s 2018 elections.
SRC acting director-general Sebastian Garikai said they have written submissions from the councilors confessing that they accepted money from some of the candidates, including suspended Zifa president Felton Kamambo.

They have until Friday 24 December, 12 noon to respond in writing directly to the SRC in respect to the show cause request.
