The rumors surrounding Prophet Walter Magaya’s eligibility for the ZIFA presidency have been put to rest. Despite speculation that he lacks the required five O-level qualifications, Magaya meets other crucial criteria outlined in the constitution.
A candidate must have at least five years of football administration experience, be 40 years or older, and have resided in the country for the past three years. Additionally, they can possess either five O-levels or equivalent qualifications such as diplomas or degrees. Magaya’s profile aligns with these requirements.
Magaya’s impact on football extends beyond administration. His community programs have nurtured local talent and promoted youth participation, resonating with ZIFA’s objectives to develop football from the ground up. His initiatives have earned him widespread support and respect.
As the ZIFA election race unfolds, Magaya’s eligibility and contributions to football will likely remain key factors. With his strong administrative background and commitment to grassroots development, Magaya remains a formidable candidate for the presidency.
