LONG-serving administrator Davison Muchena is set for yet another stint in the Zifa assembly after he was nominated unopposed for the Eastern Region chairperson’s post.

The Zifa regional elections have been pencilled in for October 14 while the outstanding provincial elections have been scheduled for various venues on September 29.

But for the Chiredzi-based Muchena, he will not have to worry about going through the exercise of shaking off any opponent after his executive which includes vice-chairperson Cyril Mukwewa committee members Patient Dube, Wisdom Simba, Simon Mushangwe and Farai Rutsvara were retained en masse.

It was a similar situation in the Central Region where Stanley Chapeta and his committee of vice-chairperson Patrick Hill and executive members Tafadzwa Samushonga, Tinashe Ndlovu, Thomas Marambanyika and Pithius Shoko were retained unopposed.

However, another seasoned administrator Musa Mandaza of Southern Region and Northern Region’s Willard Manyengavana will have to shake off the tough tests provided by former Highlanders secretary-general Andrew Tapela and ex Fifa referee Brighton Mudzamiri respectively.
