The much-anticipated ZIFA elections, scheduled for January 25, could face a significant delay following reports that one of the disqualified presidential candidates, Benjani “The Undertaker” Mwaruwari, has filed an appeal with the Court of Arbitration for Sport (CAS).

Mwaruwari, along with Walter Magaya, Farai Jere, and Themba Mliswa, was barred from contesting the elections after failing to meet the required eligibility criteria. Mwaruwari, in particular, was disqualified due to not having the necessary five “O” Levels.

However, it is now reported that Mwaruwari has formally appealed this disqualification to CAS, which could lead to the postponement of the elections until the legal process is resolved. If the appeal is upheld, the elections may be delayed until further notice.
