The Zimbabwe Football Association ZIFA has suspended Board Member Edzai Kasinauyo allegedly for trying to fix the upcoming AFCON qualifier against Swaziland.

The former national team midfielder was voted into the Zifa board on December 5, 2015, and is allegedly part of a syndicate that was planning to fix the Warriors’ two-legged 2017 Africa Cup of Nations qualifier against Swaziland later this month.
In a statement issued by the ZIFA executive committee last night, the national football governing body said that investigations into the matter are on-going and ZIFA chairman Philip Chiyangwa will be giving a statement after consulting government and other football stakeholders.
“The Zimbabwe Football Association Executive committee would like to inform the football fraternity and the nation at large that following its meeting held in Harare today (Tuesday, March 08 2016), it has provisionally suspended Executive Committee member Edzai Kasinauyo.
The suspension has been occasioned by allegations of match fixing ahead of the 2017 Orange Africa Cup of Nations qualifier match between Zimbabwe and Swaziland,” reads the statement.
“Mr Kasinauyo has been fingered in the match fixing scam and investigations are going on. The ZIFA president Dr Phillip Chiyangwa will issue a statement after consultations with COSAFA, CAF , FIFA and the Government of Zimbabwe,” the body announced.
