Edzai Kasinauyo has had another application dismissed by the High Court after he sought to have his expulsion from the Zifa executive committee nullified.

Kasinauyo filed an urgent chamber application challenging his dismissal from Zifa, but High Court judge Justice Erica Ndewere ruled that the matter was not urgent on April 13.
The former Warriors midfielder approached the courts after Zifa expelled him on the grounds that he had taken football matters to court.
He first approached the High Court seeking to have his suspension lifted and in that bid, he failed again after his urgent application was thrown out.
The suspension arose from match-fixing allegations in which Kasinauyo had been fingered together with former Zifa employees Henrietta Rushwaya and Jonathan Musavengana as well as former Warriors coaches Ian Gorowa and Nation Dube, while players agent Kudzi Shaba was a co-accused.
The group is alleged to have sought to manipulate results of the Warriors’ 2017 Africa Cup of Nations qualifiers against Swaziland for monetary gains.

Zifa has since charged all of them, but some of the accused have not responded to the charges with the disciplinary procedure set to start at the weekend.
Meanwhile, the Zifa executive committee is set to convene on Tuesday to discuss, among other items, chief executive officer Jonathan Mashingaidze’s contract.
Mashingaidze’s contract is reported to have expired last month. They also have on their agenda the future of suspended technical director Takaendesa Jongwe.
The association has chosen to be secretive about Jongwe’s charges, but insubordination is part of it.
Preparations and the setting-up of the date for the Zifa assembly will form part of the discussions while a finance and competitions report is also to be considered.
