Outgoing secretary-general Alphios Magiya yesterday confirmed the elections where six posts will be contested.
“We are going to put in place a new national executive committee for the Zimbabwe Handball Federation tomorrow at 10am in Kariba. In 2010 when we held the elections for the current executive committee, our constitution was not registered with the SRC (Sports and Recreation Commission) and now it has been registered and these elections are being run under the auspices of the new constitution,” Magiya said.
Simbiso Mupepereki from the Midlands will be challenging Amon Madzvamuse for the presidency while Magiya from Mashonaland East will battle it out for the vice-president’s post against Allen Mandeya of Manicaland.
Mupepereki is also vying for the secretary-general post which is permitted by the constitution.
If he wins the presidency then he would drop contesting for the secretary-general post.
He fights for that post with Mashonaland East’s Clement Tauro. He has been nominated by the country’s 10 provinces to contest both positions.
