The Zifa extraordinary congress whose part of the agenda is to revoke the mandate of one or all of the members of the Zifa executive committee has been set for January 29 in the capital.

The call for the meeting was made by 27 Zifa delegates in terms of Article 28 of the association secretary and has now also been called in line with Article 28 (2) of the Zifa constitution after the Zifa board reportedly refused to acknowledge and act on the delegates’ request for an extraordinary congress as stated in Article 28.

Reads the extraordinary congress request:
