Business Mogul Pedzai Scott Sakupwanya, a pioneer in sports and Nation-building* | Fri Feb 28, 2025 Today, we celebrate the life and legacy of Honourable Pedzai Scott Sakupwanya, the visionary president of Scotland Football Club, a towering figure in the Great Republic of Zimbabwe’s sporting revolution, an internationally recognized business Mogul, the founder of Betterbrands Group and the Ruling Revolutionary ZANU Party Member of Parliament for Mabvuku-Tafara Constituency. His birthday is not just a personal milestone but a moment to reflect on his profound contributions to sports development and the transformative power of the National Development Strategy-1 (NDS-1) under President Mnangagwa’s leadership. Honourable Sakupwanya’s story is one of vision, opportunity, and unwavering commitment. Through HE President Dr ED Mnangagwa’s Devolution Policy, which ensures no one and no place is left behind, he has redefined what is possible in the sporting arena. Scotland FC, under his guidance, has become a symbol of excellence, not only in Mabvuku-Tafara but across the Nation. The club is more than a football team; it is a hub of opportunity, a training ground for raw talent, and a shining example of what Visionary Leadership can achieve. The club’s academy is a breeding ground for future stars, nurturing young athletes and equipping them with the skills to excel both locally and internationally. This is not just about football; it is about creating pathways for success, instilling pride, and building a legacy that will endure for generations. Honourable Sakupwanya’s dedication to his players’ welfare is unmatched. Each member of Scotland FC enjoys fair pay, decent living conditions, and even personal vehicles—a rarity in many sporting circles. This holistic approach to playercare sets a new benchmark for sports management in the Great Republic of Zimbabwe. A recent highlight of Scotland FC’s growing influence was the auction of a team jersey, autographed by football celebrities from the club, which fetched an impressive $230k+, thanks to a generous bid by Lord Sir Wicknell Chivayo. This moment was not just a financial boost for the club but a cultural milestone, reflecting the growing prestige and impact of Scotland FC. It is a vivid reminder of how sports can unite communities, create employment, rehabilitate young people from drugs and substances, inspire generosity, and elevate the Nation’s standing on the global stage. Honourable Sakupwanya’s achievements are a reflection of the broader success of President Mnangagwa’s NDS-1 — National Development Strategy-1. This strategy has created an environment where individuals and institutions can flourish, transforming industries and uplifting communities. The sporting sector, once overlooked, is now a vibrant, well-supported industry, thanks to the efforts of Leaders like Honourable Sakupwanya. As we celebrate his birthday, we are reminded of the power of Leadership, the importance of opportunity, and the limitless potential of the Great Republic of Zimbabwe. Honourable Sakupwanya’s journey is not just his own; it is a story of a Nation on the rise, a story of dreams realized, and a story of what can be achieved when we dare to dream big. Happy Birthday, Shumba! May your legacy continue to inspire, your Vision continue to guide, and your impact continue to shape the Great Republic of Zimbabwe and beyond. #scotlandfc #honsakupwanya #nds1 #greatrepublicofzimbabwe #sportsdevelopment #mabvukutafara #footballlegacy #birthdaycelebration #visionaryleadership #nationbuilding
