Zifa maintain bans on Rushwaya, Kasinauyo and Dube despite their acquittal

ZIFA have maintained that former officials Henrietta Rushwaya, Edzai Kasinauyo and coach Nation Dube remain banned from football despite being acquitted in the Limpopogate match-fixing trial which concluded at the Harare Magistrates courts on Tuesday.

Former ZIFA chief executive Rushwaya was given a life ban while ex-board member Kasinauyo got a 10-year ban and Dube, who was Callisto Pasuwa’s assistant in the Warriors set up, was given 5 years. ZIFA legal advisor Itai Ndudzo yesterday said the court ruling did not change the decisions that were carried by the executive committee and endorsed by the assembly.

However, Kasinauyo’s lawyer, Harrison Nkomo yesterday indicated that they were preparing papers to clear their client’s name.
