Sports Analyst Reveals That Prophet Walter Magaya Still Qualifies For ZIFA Despite 5 O levels Controversy

PHD Ministries leader Prophet Walter Magaya has been the topic for discussion after rumours had it that he may be kicked out of the ZIFA election race. This came after the grapevine shared that the church leader does not have 5 O-level qualifications.

Following the recent ZIFA Annual General Meeting, there has been a surge of conversation within the football community, particularly surrounding the new eligibility rules for candidates contesting for the ZIFA presidency.

Constitutional Loophole Favors Magaya.

According to sports analyst Makomborero Mthimukulu on Facebook, Prophet Walter Magaya remains a strong ZIFA candidacy. His post states the other provisions in the constitution that work in the church leader’s favour.

In the post, Mthimukhulu states that a candidate should possess the following:

At least five years of football administration experience
40 years and above in age
Residing in the country for the past three years.
5 O levels or anything equivalent like diploma Certificates, Degrees, and anything equivalent.

Magaya fits these conditions, making him a formidable candidate for the presidency. His ongoing pursuit of leadership remains valid and aligned with the constitutional exceptions, ensuring that the updated rules do not disqualify him from the race.

Magaya’s Contributions to Football and the Community

Magaya’s influence on football is not limited to administration alone. He has also significantly contributed to the community through various football programs, earning him widespread support and respect. His efforts in nurturing local football talent and promoting youth participation have positively impacted the sport at the grassroots level.

This level of community engagement resonates with the broader objectives of ZIFA, which aims to develop football from the ground up. Magaya’s initiatives align with these goals, positioning him as a candidate who can unite the football community and foster growth across all levels of the sport.

Prophet Walter Magaya and his team have not responded to the ongoing allegations.
