Zifa Southern Region set AGM date

ZIFA Southern Region has set March 24 as the date for their annual general meeting (AGM) at a venue yet to be advised.

The meeting will follow the usual order which is to confirm or otherwise deal with minutes of the previous meeting, reading of the chairman’s report, consideration of the chairman’s report, reading of the financial report, deliberation on fixtures and discuss any other business.

Last year’s Division One season had some hiccups as several matches failed to kick off with teams giving excuses at the 11th hour. A few teams struggled to fulfil away games and in some cases even home matches. As a result, three teams were expelled from the league at the halfway mark.

These were Zimbabwe Saints, Mountain Climbers and Makhandeni Pirates.

A topical issue set to arise will be the possible re-admission of Bulawayo City into the Division One league. City has written to the Zifa Southern Region leadership seeking a slot to contest in this year’s Division One.

Zifa, however, said the decision can only be made by Congress. — @innocentskizoe
