SRC suspends Zim netball boss The Sports and Recreation Commission (SRC) has suspended long serving Zimbabwe Netball Association (ZINA) president Letitia Chipandu from all forms of netball administration with immediate effect. In a statement released on Friday, the sport governing body revealed that the suspension is a result of the investigations conducted by the SRC on the challenges prevailing within the Zimbabwe Netball Association administration and structures. The suspension will also subsist until ZINA elections are held. "The Sports and Recreation Commission (SRC) wishes to advise the public and netball stakeholders that the President of the Zimbabwe Netball Association (ZINA) Mrs Leticia Chipandu has been suspended as an official responsible for the stewardship and strategic direction of the Zimbabwe Netball Association, and from all forms of netball administration in Zimbabwe with immediate effect," read the statement by the SRC. "This is in terms of Section 30(1)(c)(i) as read with Section 19(a), (b) and (c) and paragraph 23 of the second schedule of the Sports and Recreation Act (Chapter 25:15) and shall subsist until such a time when the next ZINA elections are held. "The suspension is as result of the investigations conducted by the SRC on the challenges prevailing within the Zimbabwe Netball Association administration and structures," added the SRC. Chipandu has been at the helm of local netball since 2002 and was reelected unopposed at the elective annual general meeting in Harare back in 2022. Last month, the SRC SRC invited all netball fraternity that is athletes, officials , administrators , sponsors and partners for stakeholders engagement meeting. And the latest development is a calmination of the engagement. In 2024 a petition for the ouster of Chipandu was launched by some member of the netball community and gained a lot of traction prompting the SRC to finally take action. Interestingly, Zimbabwe has qualified for two consecutive netball World Cups under the leadership of Chipandu. https://zimsportlive.co.zw/src-suspends-zim-netball-boss/ Follow our WhatsApp Channel: https://whatsapp.com/channel/0029VaZChmL7DAX6D6DZz63a
