Nqobile Magwizi has emerged victorious in the Zimbabwe Football Association (ZIFA) presidential elections, securing a whopping 61 out of 76 votes. 

This impressive tally translates to 80% of the total vote, far exceeding the required 50% +1 vote threshold.

Magwizi's landslide win is a testament to his popularity and vision for Zimbabwean football. His campaign focused on transforming the sport, with a five-pillar approach emphasizing transparency, strategic partnerships, financial stability, infrastructure development, and grassroots excellence.

The election saw five ballot papers rendered invalid, but this had no impact on the outcome, given Magwizi's substantial lead. His closest rival, Philemon Machana, garnered only five votes.

As the new ZIFA president, Magwizi brings a wealth of experience to the table. A respected businessman and football enthusiast, he has been instrumental in promoting Zimbabwean football, including sponsoring Highlanders FC and Dynamos FC .

Magwizi's presidency is expected to usher in a new era for Zimbabwean football, marked by transparency, accountability, and a commitment to grassroots development. With his vision and leadership, the future of Zimbabwean football looks brighter than ever.
