Sporting teams owned by City of Harare have been told to
start looking for sponsorship beginning of next season.
Delivering his State of the City address, Harare Mayor Cllr
Herbert Gomba said teams should start looking for sponsorship as they want the
funds to go for service delivery.
Clubs that will be affected mainly will be Harare City
Football Club, City Hornets, Harare City netball team and other minority sports
that City of Harare have been sponsoring.
He added that club needs to find alternative sponsors, as
of the beginning of next season football calendar.
“While it is
important for Council to promote the development of sport, it’s imperative that
we look at the urgent priorities for the City.
“The teams need to grow and be weaned off from the Council
budget. We need to focus more on important issues which have been plaguing
Council’s progress and divert the funds to sectors which need urgent
attention.” he said. H Metro
