THE script for the much-awaited ZIFA elections took an unexpected twist yesterday with revelations that the decision by the Electoral Committee to bar four candidates from contesting the upcoming association presidential elections could be challenged in court. This comes as some of the candidates touted among the favourites fell at the first hurdle after failing to meet the stringent edibility criteria as set by the new ZIFA statutes. The quartet of outspoken former legislator Themba Mliswa, Farai Jere, Walter Magaya, and ex-national team captain Benjani Mwaruwari will not play any further part, according to a statement released by the ZIFA Normalisation Committee yesterday. This leaves six candidates in contention for the association’s hot seat, and these are veteran football administrator Martin Kweza, former footballer Makwinji Soma-Phiri, ex-ZIFA board member Philemon Machana, former Premier Soccer League chairman Twine Phiri, UK-based football administrator Marshall Gore, and business executive Nqobile Magwizi. The announcement was made by the FIFA-appointed Normalisation Committee led by Lincoln Mutasa, which is also acting as the Electoral Committee for the purpose of these elections meant to restore order in the association. ZIFA also announced 10 successful candidates to stand for the association’s vice-presidency and 37 for ordinary board members. The positions to be contested for on January 25 include the president, two vice presidents, of which one must be a woman, and six ordinary board members. However, some of the candidates barred from running for the ZIFA presidency have indicated they could exercise their right to appeal. According to the football statutes, aggrieved individuals could still approach the Court of Arbitration for Sport in Switzerland for redress. Former Norton Member of Parliament Mliswa said he was contemplating challenging the decision to exclude him from the successful candidates. The vetting process, through which all the aspiring candidates for the January 25 ballot were subjected to an eligibility test, has been taking place in the last two weeks with the assistance of the ZIFA Ethics Committee led by renowned legal practitioner Muchadeyi Masunda. “I would like to, first of all, congratulate those who made it in the various positions that they are seeking to stand in the ZIFA, the new ZIFA Executive Committee. “Unfortunately, I didn’t make it, but fortunately I can appeal. I will appeal,” said Mliswa. He said he will seek to challenge the loopholes in the new ZIFA constitution that was recently adopted by the association’s congress and registered with the Sports Commission. “The process of appeal is critical, not because I’m bitter, but it’s one’s right to also test the constitution. I always say that this constitution is flawed in many ways. Being flawed in many ways, it has to be tested,” said Mliswa. “The interpretation of a constitution can only be known to be what it is through the processes and the courts. I intend to start the process as soon as possible, but like any other method of appeal, you need to be given the reasons why you did not make it. And then from there, it becomes the basis for you to appeal. “The process to appeal must not be seen as a bitter way of responding, but it is a right, and it’s good for the people of Zimbabwe. We need the best leaders. “And even in a political election, you know that the appeal process is there, the constitutional court is there . . . The process starts now. The game is not over. The game has just started.” Mliswa and some of the barred candidates that spoke to Zimpapers Sports Hub were unhappy there was no explanation from the ZIFA Normalisation Committee why they failed to make the cut. Veteran football administrator Jere, who had announced he was leaving the Premier Soccer League chairmanship to focus on the ZIFA job. “I have nothing to react to at the moment; I cannot even say what the next step would be because I have not received any communication from ZIFA to say I have failed to meet the eligibility criteria because of ABC. “That way I can be able to make a decision, whether to appeal or not. If you also look at it from another angle, maybe their decision is correct, but we can only know if they say something. “As people versed with tenets of good corporate governance, I thought they were going to communicate before hand and explain why my candidature was not successful. Probably the letters are on the way. We wait,” said Jere. There has been an overwhelming interest in the upcoming elections, with a record number of nominations for the various posts in the ZIFA board. In announcing the successful candidates, a statement from the association yesterday said, “The ZIFA Normalisation Committee, acting as the ZIFA Electoral Committee in accordance with Article 85(9), is pleased to announce the names of all the candidates who have met the eligibility criteria stipulated in the ZIFA Statutes, 2024. The list of successful candidates is as follows: Marshall Gore Philemon Machana Nqobile Magwizi Martin Kweza Twine Phiri Makwinji Soma-Phiri Mavis Gumbo Patience Mutumwa Winnet Murota Joyce R.

A contestant on ITV's Who Wants to Be A Millionaire? Celebrity Special was accused of cheating during Sunday's (December 29) episode after they called a star of quiz show The Chase for an answer. Host Jeremy Clarkson was back at the helm for a star-studded edition of the popular game show, with celebs vying to win a cool £1 million for their chosen charities. Jools Holland kicked things off, playing for Prince's Trust and Caring Hands, before passing the baton to comedian Nina Wadia and ex-Rugby Union ace Ugo Monye. But it was Nina's choice of phone-a-friend that raised eyebrows she opted to call none other than Paul Sinha, a familiar face from ITV's own quiz battleground, The Chase, reports the Express . Nina, previously seen on Strictly Come Dancing , found herself stumped by a question about the demolition of a prison in 1987 where Rudolf Hess had been the sole inmate. Without hesitation, she reached out to Chaser and comic Paul Sinha for help. Even host Jeremy Clarkson couldn't hide his surprise, exclaiming: "From The Chase? Let me get this straight, you're actually contemplating, shall I ask the audience or should I ask someone from The Chase?" Paul didn't disappoint, confidently identifying option B, Spandau, as the correct answer. Social media buzzed with reactions, with one viewer jesting on X: "You can't ring Paul Sinha, that's cheating." Another chimed in with disapproval: "Phoning a chaser on Who Wants To Be A Millionaire that shouldn't be allowed." Some fans were more forgiving, with one commenting: "No wonder she's laughing with a phone a friend called Paul Sinha." Nina ultimately pocketed £32,000 for her chosen charity JDRF (Juvenile Diabetes Research Foundation), after being tripped up by a question about the Shakespearean origin of the contemporary phrase 'there's method in my madness'. The comedian, recognised for her parts in Goodness Gracious Me and EastEnders , was torn between Hamlet and Macbeth. She decided to Ask The Audience, who were equally divided over the two choices. She locked in Macbeth as her final answer, but alas, it was Hamlet, marking the end of her stint on the show. Viewers are keeping their fingers crossed for more celebrity editions of Who Wants To Be A Millionaire from ITV , given the stellar roster of celebs that have previously graced the show, all eager to scoop up a hefty sum for charity. Prior to airing, there were whispers that this special would be "the best season yet". This comes hot on the heels of news that the host of Clarkson's Farm had a recent health scare, undergoing emergency heart surgery following a severe illness while on holiday. In his column for the Sunday Times, Jeremy Clarkson shared his harrowing ordeal, describing how he suddenly found himself unable to rise from the breakfast table, questioning whether his "limbs were working properly". However, it wasn't just the Covid saga that hit Jeremy; he found everyday activities like swimming and walking a challenge. After experiencing a worrying "tightening in his chest" upon his return to the UK, Jeremy was swiftly whisked off to hospital by ambulance. Who Wants To Be A Millionaire? Celebrity Special is streaming on ITVX.“Workaholics” star Waymond Lee has died. He was 72. Lee’s wife, Diane Lee, and his sister, Norine Lee, confirmed his death to TMZ Sunday. The actor died after battling ALS . Lee was diagnosed with a degenerative brain disease in October, before further testing revealed that he had ALS earlier this month. ALS, also known as Lou Gehrig’s disease, is a progressive and fatal neurological disorder that affects the nerve cells in the brain and spinal cord, according to the Mayo Clinic . Lee starred in over 40 episodes of “Workaholics,” which aired for seven seasons on Comedy Central from 2011 to 2017. The workplace sitcom follows three friends from California who work together as telemarketers and are labeled the “Workaholics.” Some of the “Workaholics” cast members paid tribute to Lee on social media after his death. “Rest in peace Waymond Lee. I am gutted. He was such a kind man,” wrote Adam DeVine , who co-created the show and played Adam DeMamp. “My deepest condolences go out to his wife Diane and the rest of his family,” DeVine’s Instagram tribute to Lee continued. “He was always down to do whatever insane thing we wrote for him on Workaholics. He was always game. A true professional.” DeVine, 41, added, “Even though I haven’t seen him since the workaholics days this is hitting me like a brick to the face. When I think of our show I think of Waymond. The older I get the more I realize what a special time that was. You will be missed Way Way!” Blake Anderson, who also co-created the series and played Blake Henderson, remembered Lee in his own tribute. ‘This KING! Waymond Lee. Rest in peace my friend,” Anderson, 40, began. “I just don’t even know where to begin. The best explanation that comes to mind is in the Marvel multiverse movies when they explain the idea of “anchor beings” Waymond was the workaholics anchor being. The workaholics universe just simply doesn’t exist without him.” “He was there from even before the beginning. He was always blown away and so appreciative of all the love Workaholics fans showed him,” Anderson went on. “I’m very grateful I randomly ran into him on set in 2022 and gave him a big old hug. Such a peaceful and warm guy. He really made my heart smile.” “Waymond was a great dude. All my love goes out to his family and friends,” Anderson added. Another tribute came from “Workaholics” co-creator and star Anders Holm. “Waymond Lee was a great guy,” Holm, 43, wrote. “Even though he never spoke on the show, he was always chatting people up on set. Super positive. Goofy and fun, but would drop some real elder wisdom on us. Loved seeing him get love from the fans and always enjoyed seeing him pop up in other shows and movies.” “The camera loved that guy. He just had a real watchable look and unique comic timing that was all Waymond,” Holm continued, before bringing attention toward Lee’s “real comedy partner,” his wife, Diane. “They were a dynamic duo on set, like a legit sitcom couple,” Holm said. “Sending love to Diane and the rest of Waymond’s family. Everybody loved Waymond. 🙌🏻🙌🏻🙌🏻🙌🏻❤️❤️❤️.” In addition to his role in “Workaholics,” Lee made uncredited appearances in “Grey’s Anatomy,” “It’s Always Sunny in Philadelphia,” “Superstore,” “Dexter, ” “The Cleaning Lady,” “How I Met Your Mother” and “Veep.”
