FORMER Warriors striker Zenzo “Zemura” Moyo has officially thrown his hat into the ring for the Zifa Southern Region chairmanship, setting up what promises to be a heated football election next month.
Moyo, who once terrorised defenders in Highlanders and national team colours, is one of five contenders gunning for the top seat. According to the final list of candidates who paid their nomination and election fees in full, he will square off against incumbent Lloyd Munhanga, Tatenda Mtungwazi, Tawanda Tali and Samkeliso Silengani.
For the vice-chairmanship, the race has attracted Tafadzwa Mutowa, Cathrine Mavada, Martin Mhlanga and Elton Sinyosi.
The battle for the four board member slots features Tizirayi Luphahla, Lovemore Kuvheya, Prince Nyoni, Blessing Mbwanda and Tatenda Ncube.
On the women’s football front, Samkeliso Silengani stands uncontested for the chairperson position, while no candidate submitted papers for the vice-chairperson post. Sibekiwe Ndlovu was the sole candidate for a seat on the women’s football board.
The nomination window, which opened on 6 October, allowed eligible candidates from various structures including Area Zones, Beach Soccer, Futsal,
Provincial, Women’s Regional and Men’s Regional Leagues to file their papers.
As the campaign trail heats up, all eyes will be on whether Zenzo Moyo’s football pedigree and experience can translate into administrative leadership in the Southern Region.
