Professor Lovemore Madhuku tore into Walter Magaya’s qualifications during a High Court hearing, where Magaya is seeking to postpone ZIFA polls. The self-proclaimed prophet was disqualified by ZIFA for failing to produce his O-Levels, a requirement for the position. Madhuku argued that Magaya’s lack of O-Levels is a significant issue, stating that “you can’t qualify unless you have O-Level or equivalent.”
Madhuku emphasized that having something higher than an O-Level is not sufficient, as the primary requirement is the O-Level itself. He also pointed out that Magaya cannot produce a diploma and claim it is an O-Level, highlighting the importance of meeting the specific requirements set by ZIFA. The lawyer’s arguments were centered around the idea that ZIFA’s decisions must be respected, and that Magaya’s lack of qualifications makes him ineligible for the position.
Madhuku’s comments were scathing, with him comparing Magaya’s situation to a student who didn’t complete Early Childhood Development (ECD) but wants to start at Grade 4. He emphasized that there are certain attributes that come with having an O-Level, which ZIFA requires. The lawyer’s statements highlighted the importance of meeting the necessary qualifications and respecting the decisions of sporting bodies.
The case has brought attention to the issue of qualifications and eligibility in sports leadership positions. Magaya’s disqualification has sparked debate, with some arguing that his lack of O-Levels should not disqualify him from seeking a leadership position in ZIFA.
