Cossasa is a sports association of all primary and secondary schools in the Sadc region which takes care of all the 12 Sadc countries namely; Zimbabwe, South Africa, Namibia, Zambia, Botswana, Lesotho, Swaziland, Angola, Mozambique, Malawi, Tanzania and Mauritius.
Before he was elevated to the latest influential position which came during the Cossasa general assembly meeting in Cape Town last weekend, Madhuku had previously held the position of vice-president in charge of marketing and publicity in the regional body.
Madhuku, who is the headmaster of Pamushana High School in Masvingo, has already set some of his objectives, and top of the list is to stamp out cheating in schools sport.
He also wants to push for the introduction of sporting disciplines for pupils with disabilities as well as introducing arts and culture segments on the Cossasa curriculum. “Cheating in schools is a disease which we need to stamp out.
“The government should come in and support us especially with funding of schools sports. Other countries in the region are getting funding from their government and it’s a very different story with us,” added Madhuku.
