WOMEN in football have described Tafadzwa Bhasera as a champion who stood up for equality in the game.

“Tafadzwa was a uniquely discerning football administrator, she believed that everything happened for a reason.
“She imparted a special kind of love to me, emphasising the importance of nurturing relationships every day, even through simple gestures like saying hello without expecting anything in return.
“Tafadzwa’s leadership was founded on love, as she fearlessly stood up against injustice. She wasn’t just a colleague or another woman in football; she was my sister.
“Her wisdom and kindness left an indelible mark on everyone who had the fortune of knowing her. Tafadzwa’s approach to life was both inspiring and humbling.
