Zifa elections: Dube unveils vision

MORGEN Dube, the executive secretary of Highlanders, is vying for a position on the Zifa board.
His extensive experience and proficiency would be a valuable contribution towards the progress of Zimbabwe football.

In his pursuit of joining the Zifa board, Dube has presented a manifesto that clearly outlines his vision for the development of the local game.

This manifesto revolves around five crucial pillars: football representation, technical expertise, international administration standards, team equilibrium, and organisational aptitude, together with inclusivity.

Dube firmly believes that these pillars are essential for reconstructing trust and fostering a sense of oneness within the Zimbabwean football community.

By implementing his vision, he envisions a brighter future for Zimbabwean football that would undoubtedly inspire the next generation of football talent in the country.

“Football representation is critical in ensuring that the voices of all stakeholders are heard and represented at the highest level,” Dube said.

“My technical expertise, honed through my experience as a player, coach and administrator, will be invaluable in driving Zifa’s technical development programmes.”

Dube’s commitment to international administration standards is also noteworthy.
He believes that aligning Zifa’s governance structures and practices with global best practices will help Zimbabwe football remain competitive on the regional and international stages.

Team balance and organisational skills are also critical components of Dube’s manifesto.
He believes that his experience in managing teams and organisations will be essential in ensuring that Zifa’s various departments and programmes work in harmony to achieve the association’s strategic objectives.

Ultimately, Dube’s commitment to inclusiveness is true to his vision for a more unified and representative Zifa.
By promoting inclusivity and diversity, Dube aims to create a Zifa that is truly representative of the Zimbabwe football community.

As he seeks to join the Zifa board, Dube is confident that his vision for Zimbabwe football will resonate with the football community.

Dube’s football background is rooted in his playing days at A’Zambezi in Victoria Falls before injury forced him into early retirement.

He transitioned into coaching at just 22 years old. Dube’s administrative experience includes serving as Zifa Southern Region vice-chairman from 2010-14 and acting chairman.

Dube’s association with Highlanders dates back to his youth when he formed close bonds with the late Adam Ndlovu and Barry Daka.
