The suspended ZIFA executive members have given Minister of Youth, Sport, Arts and Recreation Minister Kirsty Coventry a 5-day ultimatum to retract what they consider defamatory remarks or face legal action.
Coventry reportedly made the remarks during a question and answer session in Parliament on 29 March.
She allegedly told Members of Parliament that her Ministry and the Sports and Recreation Commission (SRC) suspended the Felton Kamambo-led ZIFA executive after it had, among several violations, failed to account for US$2 million.
According to Coventry, the US$2 million was given to the ZIFA board by the government ahead of the Warriors’ AFCON 2019 campaign.
Kamambo and his colleagues vehemently denied the allegations during a recent press conference.
They then demanded that Coventry either retract her remarks publicly or face legal action.
In a letter seen by Soccer24, the suspended ZIFA board said Coventry “deliberately and brazenly misrepresented facts” hence she should publish and “unconditional withdrawal” of the defamatory’ remarks within five days.
