American-based Zimbabwe Football Association (Zifa) Eastern Region Division One side (FC Wangu Mazodze ) owner has dismissed claims that he was planning to contest in the upcoming 2023 general elections.
Dr Richard Wangu Mazodze on Sunday (September 19) sarcastically said he was not even aware of the Zimbabwean elections which are looming above the horizon.
“You are having elections here? I only know about those in America where I stay. In America, this year they are having midterm elections but I am not a candidate though,” said Dr Mazodze.
He said those who are speculating that he has ambitions to join politics are right but he does not know which side they are aligning him with in America (The Republicans or Democrats)
He also said here in Zimbabwe, he was only focusing on football alone.
“Here in Zimbabwe, I am only focusing on football. We are planning to bring Premier Soccer League (PSL) to Masvingo province,” he said.
FC Wangu Mazodze best known by its fans as Zhalala Zhululu joined the Zifa eastern region D1 camp this season.
The team is only left with a single match to play before the season’s curtain comes down.
