MODERN ‘Voltage’ Ngwenya, who is vying for a post on the ZIFA board, believes ethical conduct is key in football administration.
Former football star, Collin Semwayo, has pulled out of the election after five councillors demanded US$300 each to nominate him.
Others are said to have paid over US$800.“Ethical considerations surrounding leadership in sports cannot be overstated. My position to forgo a higher position in favour of contributing as a ZIFA board member speaks volumes about my character,” said Ngwenya. “It illustrates selfless dedication to the sport, prioritising the collective success of Zimbabwe football over personal advancement.
“This is the hallmark of a true leader – one who understands that leadership is not about titles but about making a meaningful impact.”
Ngwenya added: “By electing me, stakeholders will be endorsing a vision for a thriving, inclusive and ethically-governed football community.
“My leadership promises to usher in an era of growth and success, ensuring that Zimbabwean football continues to inspire generations to come.
“My commitment to transparency, accountability and ethical governance aligns perfectly with the expectations of stakeholders who demand integrity in administration.”
He said junior development engagement should ensure sustainable practices that will lay a foundation for a resilient football ecosystem.
Ngwenya was acting chairman of Highlanders after Peter Dube was suspended by the Philip Chiyangwa board in 2016.
