Harare City Council Set To Allocate 40 Hectares For ZIFA Stadium And Headquarters

Harare Mayor Jacob Mafume announced that the Harare City Council will allocate 40 hectares of land and a sports club to the Zimbabwe Football Association (ZIFA) for the construction of a stadium and headquarters.

In addition to the HighGlen land deal, Mafume revealed that the City of Harare will partner with ZIFA to renovate the Rufaro and Gwanzura stadiums.

Speaking after a meeting with ZIFA president Nqobile Magwizi in Harare on Monday, 17 March, Mafume said:

We will avail one of our sports clubs for the building of the ZIFA headquarters. It will go through the committees tomorrow.
We are also keen to avail one of our sports grounds to ZIFA. We want to develop it, the 40-hectare HighGlen Stadium.

We are willing to avail that land to ZIFA for assistance. We would not want them to give us money, but we would want them to assist us in developing Rufaro and Gwanzura Stadia.
We will also avail another sports club for the Mighty Warriors and develop that facility. We will also name that facility in due course.

Zimbabwe currently does not have a single stadium certified by CAF to host international football matches.

As a result, national teams and clubs competing in CAF tournaments are forced to use stadiums in other countries as their home grounds.

As much as sincere as it sounds i believe we should start leasing these grounds to private partners. It was easier to renovate the NSS or rudhaka or gwanzura than to start building one from scratch. And why are we only focusing on Harare only??. We have BBF and that one in Mutare. Even that one in Chitungwiza. Renovate them and make them bigger. We are already failing to maintain those we have , why are we building another one?

Mafume must resign from HCC because his shenanigans were exposed by the Commission investigating corruption at the council.He lied about his address,he lied about the USD 400 000 he was given by a Harare company in exchange for a tender and the rot in executive salaries.

I am of the opinion that our mayor has his priorities misplaced, we have humongous issues with water supply and perennial if not years of inconsistent erratic gabbage collection and disposal. Rufaro Stadium yacho is partially complete and pedzezvo this nonsense. Hapana kwatiri kuyenda very fast. Tiri pa round about.

Does Zifa have the cash to build or renovate Gwsnzura and Rufaro stadia?Zifa has been struggling over the years to pay its players both women and men.The mighty warriors have not been paid since 2018.
