The Zimbabwe National Soccer Supporters Association (ZNSSA) have petitioned the High Court seeking a Declaratory Order over to have the 2019 COSAFA Cup held in this country.
ZNSSA leader Eddie “Mboma’’ Nyatanga, yesterday filed an application with the High Court in Harare over the issue and cited Youth, Sport, Arts and Recreation Minister Kirsty Coventry as the respondent. He also questioned Sport and Recreation Commission director-general Prince Mupazviriho’s appointment. Mupazviriho was one of the key people who handled the ZIFA bid to stage the COSAFA Cup. Nyatanga wants the High Court to issue a Declaratory Order that will nullify the announcement that Coventry made on the hosting of the COSAFA Cup. Nyatanga’s application reads:
<blockquote>The respondent on February 18, 2019 made an announcement that ZIFA would not host the 2019 edition of the COSAFA senior men’s football tournament scheduled to be hosted in Zimbabwe,’’ Nyatanga said in his application. The respondent’s announcement of her decision on behalf of the Zimbabwe Government and ZIFA is improper and beyond the scope of her powers in terms of the SRC Act. The decision was not for the respondent to make or announce as ZIFA had only sought Government guarantee in order to make an informed decision.’</blockquote>
Coventry has 10 days within which to file her opposing papers.

Kirsty Coventry Taken To Court Over COSAFA Tournament

Organisers of the first COSAFA senior men’s football tournament are still searching for a new host nation for the 2019 edition after Zimbabwe turned down the rights citing short notice. Youth, Sport, Arts and Recreation Minister Kirsty Coventry made the announcement yesterday following a marathon meeting with senior officials from ZIFA and the Sports Commission. Zimbabwe, who last hosted the tournament in 2009, were provisionally handed the rights to organise this year’s edition, pending Government guarantees, when COSAFA secretary-general Sue Destombes toured the country last month and made the announcement.
However, after wide consultations, the stakeholders felt the deal was not good for Zimbabwe because of limited time.  According to Coventry, the country was still open to hosting the event in the future.

Zimbabwe Turns Down Opportunity To Host Cosafa Cup

Chigova saved Lesotho’s first two penalties before he was beaten on the third one. Lesotho’s fourth kick was ruled out by the referee to give the Warriors 3-1 penalty shoot-out victory.

Warriors book Cosafa Castle Cup quarterfinal place after beating Seychelles 6-0

The Warriors’ technical team has filed an official complaint over poor match officiating by referee Joshua Bondo in the group B match against Madagascar on Wednesday. The Warriors technical team state that they were denied two clear penalties in a space of two minutes in incidents involving Raphael Manuvire and Ovidy Karuru. They also highlighted various contradictions between Bondo and his assistants.
In a letter dated 28, 2017 to the Cosafa  organising commitee, the Warriors technical team said that they will play the game against Seychelles under protest. Part of the letter reads:
<div dir="auto">The controversial match officiating displayed by Bondo denied Zimbabwe its much needed victory as our legitimate penalty appeals were denied.</div>
<div dir="auto"></div>
<blockquote>
<div dir="auto">In the 85th minute, our player Raphael Manuvire was hacked down in the penalty area and the referee waived play on. In the 87th minute, our captain Ovidy Karuru was sent flying by Madagascar goalkeeper Jean Dieu Donne Randrianasolo and again Bondo ruled otherwise and denied us a penalty.</div>
<div dir="auto"></div>
<div dir="auto">The referee was explicitly biased against our team and on many occasions, he seemed to contradict his assistants and communication breakdown was clear between him and his counterparts.</div>
<div dir="auto">In light of the above, we appeal to the responsible authorities to investigate this match as poor officiating spoils the beauty of the game.</div>
