Zifa has opened a police docket for former chief executive officer Jonathan Mashingaidze whom they accuse of defrauding the football governing body of $700 000.
ZIFA president Philip Chiyangwa yesterday told The Herald that they decided to raise criminal charges against Mashingaidze and the case was reported under RRB 3370099. Said Chiyangwa:
Basically what we have done is that we have reported him to the police and a docket has been opened. So police are after Mashingaidze now. These are matters that have been outstanding for some time. This man should have answered for his sins long back. When we came in we felt we could not continue to work with him after discovering his shenanigans, hence his contract was not renewed. An audit that was done by the association’s auditors in 2011, long before we came in, is clear that some criminal activities were happening at ZIFA and we wonder why people were not brought to book. This Mashingaidze abused his office to block the matters from coming to the fore.
