Sport and Recreation Minister Makhosini Hlongwane on Friday ordered the reinstatement of Warriors Coach Callisto Pasuwa before sa said “cancelling” ZIFA President Philip Chiyangwa’s leave.
Chiyangwa said to be on leave barely a few days after taking charge of ZIFA, on Wednesday fired the Warriors Coach Callisto Pasuwa and his entire technical team for “insubordination” and replaced him with Chicken Inn Coach Joey Antipas.
The decision to fire Pasuwa was announced by Chiyangwa’s deputy Omega Sibanda.
Flexing his muscles on the issue on Friday Minister Hlongwane said the decision by ZIFA board to fire Pasuwa was ill-informed.
“It is also important that ZIFA takes time to apply itself to matters of national interest before announcing major decisions that have disruptive capacity and have potential of injuring the national psych. I have asked Dr Chiyangwa, the president of ZIFA to come out of his leave in order to attend to this potentially crippling and rather unnecessary dispute,” he said.
The Warriors’ CHAN preparations are virtually at a standstill as the technical department has been sacked.
Joey Antipas and Tonderai Ndiraya who had been appointed to take over the Warriors job have declined.
It is also understood ZIFA had first approached Norman Mapeza who also turned them down.

Ko what do you think, Chiyangwa can do, if he doesn’t even know the any one of the football abbreviations like CAF, CHAN, FIFA, COSAFA and ZIFA. Barely two days in office he has started causing confusion because he doesn’t know the importance of CHAN games.
This Board needs someone who knows what he is doing not someone who think he knows. Zvasiyana nekutengesa secrete dzenyika kumaBritish Chiyangwa. Gore rino uchanyadzisirwa kusvika wapinda mumusingwi.
