Notable progress of the Rebuild, Reposition, Restore manifesto that was unveiled by the Harare businessman and property mogul, Dr Philip Chiyangwa two months ago has breathed a new lease of life on the day to day proceedings at house number 53 Livingstone Avenue in the capital, with Philip Chiyangwa and Wicknell Chivayo combining well to take ZIFA to the promised land.

‘Less talk, more action,’ has since become the character of the flamboyant business man as he is firing from all angles to ensure sanity is restored at the cash strapped football institution, with the latest promise being the acquisition of a state of the art vehicle for Kalisto Pasuwa worthy at least $70 000 by the start of next month, with former Warriors coach, Tom Saintfeit set to be paid his balance by the 31st of this month, nullifying the initial plan to finish the installment in March.

I want you (ZIFA leadership) to work even harder. I want you to do even more and control all football in Zimbabwe,’’ Hlongwane said.
