AMHVoices:Zifa must take football as business

AMH Voices
There is need for a paradigm shift to how Zifa, the clubs and the national team are run and managed.

Zifa must take a business decision based on whether the national soccer team is a viable business proposition or not. Then it must fix the maximum it can afford to pay the coach (Kalisto Pasuwa), players and other staff given the source of funding, before advertising for the jobs or inviting players to the national team.

There is need for a paradigm shift to how Zifa, the clubs and the national team are run and managed.

At the new centre of it all must be good corporate governance and balanced, sustainable budgets and forward planning.

Across the commercial world, soccer clubs included, directors who continue to run insolvent institutions, in the process defrauding innocent folk, must be charged with fraud.

However, Zifa must keep Pasuwa’s salary a secret as he deserves some privacy in his life .
