Sports Reporter

The ZIFA Normalisation Committee says the association is investigating allegations of sexual misconduct in the Zimbabwe women’s national team which is participating at the Cosafa Women’s Championships in South Africa. 

It is alleged that a male member of the technical team is facing abuse allegations.

The Zifa Normalisation Committee yesterday announced it was investigating the matter. 

“The Zimbabwe Football Association has received a report of misconduct among members of the senior women’s technical team. 

“The team is accompanied by a highly qualified safeguarding officer who is on the ground to look into the matter.

“The association takes a dim view of the matter and is currently carrying out independent investigations to get to the bottom of the allegations. 

“The public is reminded that this is a sensitive subject and that they should not take unfounded steps that could compromise the investigations,” read a Zifa statement yesterday.
