“My role is to see football people happy”- ZIFA normalisation committee appointee Sanyamandwe

Nyasha Tashinga Sanyamandwe is one of the four-member normalisation committee which was recently announced by FIFA to run ZIFA for a year.

25-year-old Sanyamandwe, a legal practitioner, was a surprise to the football fraternity and some have cast doubt over her appointment while others have hailed her inclusion.

She believes her work will answer her critics.

“It’s such a pleasure to be part of the normalisation committee and I feel it’s such a progressive step in the right direction for Zimbabwean football.

“Using my legal expertise in this whole fraternity, I am going to try and impact positively in executing the mandate I have to execute so far as putting the restructuring structures.

“I have to check if they are in line with the international statutes (FIFA) so my role there is just compliance from that perspective and to see football people happy which makes the role social and legal.

“I can relate to the bible, the David and Goliath story. Age should not be a hindrance, we are talking about the bottom line.

“What are the deliverables?”

She said: “I think that assertion is ill-founded and lacks a foundation and logic as we need to assess the deliverables on the table.

“All I can assure you is the team I am working with on the table will all collaborate for us to achieve.

“I have not been in sports before but I am very open-minded and I felt it’s a challenge I can take on.

“There is legal in everything so I can fit in so it’s something I am happy to engage in.”
