I dramacally turned around PSMAS in 1999 when the Society posted a net surplus of Z$81 million against a staggering Z$269 million net deficit the previous year. This was followed by an all-record net surplus Z$296 million at the end of December 2000. To crown my achievements, I implemented my vision of health provision so well that it has earned my organizaon and myself a lot of respect from both his crics and admirers. My diversificaon strategy has brought new meaning and an increase in the value of medical aid and health services to the members of PSMAS and the country as a whole. Members are now enjoying guaranteed access to quality health care services as a result of this strategy. Some of the disciplines under the Premier Service Medical Investments porolio are dental, medical, physiotherapy, ambulances, hospitalizaon, pharmaceucal, pathology, optometry, imaging, just to menon a few. I sits on a number of Boards within both the private and the public sector. 2 Awards 1. Manager of the year award in 2002 from the Zimbabwe Instute of Management. 2.

Football is my life as I have spent this beer part of my life contribung to the game as a benefactor and or sponsor. And here is my football profile: · Founded Buymore Social Football Club in 1989 · Founded Buymore FC in 1992 · Led Buymore FC into Premier League in 2002 · Was Chairman of the ZIFA Eastern Region from 2001 to 2006 · Was a Board Member Of the ZIFA Board from 2001 to 2006 · Was Chairman of the Zimbabwe 2010 Africa Cup of Naons Bid Commiee from 2005 to 2006 · Founder and Sponsor of the Sylvia Dube Memorial Tournaments which is in memory of my late wife who was an avid football follower and co sponsor of Buymore F.C PERSONAL VALUES I cherish the following values which have been my forte all my life · Integrity ·Fairness · Honesty ·Equity in terms of opportunies · Democracy ·Compassion · Transparency ·Hard work · Fair play ·Professionalism ·Team work I am a firm believer in working with and for the people and football thrives on selfless and commied contribuons of humble servants of football. 4 PERSONAL ATTRIBUTES Below is the sum total of the aributes which have always given me the strength to work for the people. · Good interpersonal skills- I can work with people from different backgrounds. · Analycal mind- I can have strong analycal and or crical skills which help me to operate astutely. · Humility –I believe that I should always humble myself to those whom I serve. · Delegaon- one can never walk alone and to that end division of labour and collecve responsibility are my styles of leadership. · Introspecon- an honest leader shall always look himself in the mirror if one has to acquit oneself efficiently. · Strategist- I am endowed with strategic management skills and football needs strategists. ZIFA Village: Conference Cerntre 5 PREAMBLE Of all the years that I have humbly served Zimbabwean football in various capacies as highlighted earlier, the past four years have been the most challenging experience I have ever had. My first term in office as President of the Zimbabwe Football Associaon made me realise how much our football had become so polarized, how much the custodians of football, the ordinary and simple men and women who passionately follow this most beauful game have different ideas on how football should be run in our great country. I have learnt with humility and, because of my love for football, to listen to these voices because football has a way of bringing us together, of finding each other in the midst of all differences and different opinions. When all has been said and done, we are indeed on the same team, TEAM ZIMBABWE! TOGETHER EVERYONE ACHIEVES MORE! The past four years have taught me that in union there is strength. I have learnt that as a team it is important to remember that “upon the conduct of each depends the fate of all”- so said Alexander the Great. I have drawn experience from members of my Board and have realized that all of us, at certain points in our lives, need to take advice and receive help from other people who share the same passion for football as I do. The last four years have been a humbling experience as my Board and I went through roller coaster moments. From inhering a debt ridden organizaon, to tackling the Asiagate monster and so much in between but capping those four years with the Warriors success at CHAN., it indeed has been lessons for me throughout, lessons that I have learnt well and lessons I plan to build on as I seek re-elecon for the post of ZIFA President. Being a seasoned football administrator, it doesn't take a rocket scienst to know that football is a team sport. It is the reality that movates me to build on the past four years and bring together every football stakeholder to the table and chart the way forward for our football. This includes the owners of the game, the millions of fans out there, the reason we actually go to the stadium, the players, the Government of Zimbabwe, the media, players union, women football, corporate world, and football administrators. 6 We need to work as a team because football is not about me, neither is it about you, football is about us, its about our children, our families, our people, and above all it is about our great country, which I know we all love dearly and our common dream is for every face of our football from the elite PSL, the women's football, Futsal, beach soccer, junior football development to succeed and become the pride of our naon, a feeling we all shared when the Warriors did us proud during the last edion of CHAN. The CHAN experience galvanized our people. For a moment there, Zimbabweans from all walks of life were united through football regardless of polical affiliaon, religion, colour, creed or gender. Though our bodies were here in Zimbabwe, our hearts and minds were with our gallant and brave warriors in South Africa. This is the power of football that I cannot over emphasise. It is this great spirit that I would like to revive and fight for as we set our focus on AFCON 2015, World Cup 2018, the Women's World Cup in Canada 2015 and various CAF and FIFA compeons in the next four years. To achieve the above what we need to do is learn to work together, to tolerate one another's needs to work in a system where my Board, the Secretariat, players, fans, our Government, the corporate world, is there not, for individual compeve profit or recognion, but for contribuon to the system as a whole on a win- win basis because in the words of Mother Theresa “None of us, including myself, can ever do great things, but we can do small things, with great love, and together we can do something wonderful” in the world’s most beauful game.

I wish to particularly thank my supervisor, Professor Larry Strelitz, for his patience and dedicated effort in providing the intellectual guidance and support that saw the writing of this thesis come to an end. Further gratitude goes to the following members of the Rhodes University Journalism School, who made me realise the pleasures of intellectual inquiry (perhaps without realising it themselves): Professor Jeanne Prinsloo, for making the thesis writing process lighter through her motherly advice and encouragement, and for particularly encouraging me to apply for the Belgian Technical Cooperation (BTC) thesis scholarship whose support enabled me to spend time at Rhodes as I did my research; Professor Guy Berger, for the provision of material and stimulating discussions at the formative stages of my research; Lynette Steenveld, for the inspiration and advice at the onset of my studies – you were right, “it can never be an MA by attendance.” My gratitude also goes to my classmate, Hugh Ellis, for the company as the thesis writing struggle began.
