Farai Dziva| A Zimbabwean football agent is among the seven people banned by FIFA from taking part in any kind of football-related activity at both national and international level for life.

Kudzanai Shaba was found guilty of having been involved in match fixing . FIFA announced on Wednesday that the Zimbabwean was part of a clique who worked with Wilson Raj Perumal, a convicted Singaporean match-fixer, to manipulate the results for betting purposes.

This is not the first time Shaba has been implicated in a match-fixing scandal. In 2012, he was slapped with a life ban after Zifa found him guilty of taking part in the famous Asiagate but was later pardoned following the appointment of a new Zifa executive in 2016.

But during that year, the football agent was again charged after trying to fix the Warriors’ 2017 Afcon qualifier against Swaziland.
