That translates
to about US$4 166 a month.
ZIFA will have
a new leader on January 25.
In October last
year, heads of national associations got a hefty hike when the CAF payment was
increased from US$20 000 to US$50 000.
The decision
was taken unanimously by all 54-member countries.
CAF president
Patrice Motsepe said the US$50 000 payment was still “insignificant.”
He said: “Some
of your presidents have no resources, they’ve got nothing and they’ve got to
run the member associations out of their pockets.”
The CAF vice
presidents and CAF executive members will get US$20 000 a year.
Presidents of
zonal bodies like COSAFA and CECAFA will get US$25 000 a year.
Motsepe’s
special advisers, Danny Jordaan and Jacques Anouma, will receive US$20 000.
Heads of
national football associations are not full-time employees but volunteers and
CAF believe they should be compensated for their time.
Motsepe and
other FIFA vice presidents get US$300 000 a year.
FIFA president
Gianni Infantino gets about US$4,67 million a year.
Philemon
Machana, Martin Kweza, Nqobile Magwizi, Twine Phiri, Makwinji Soma-Phiri and
Marshall Gore are the six candidates who qualified to stand for the ZIFA
presidency.
ZIFA are
expected to make a final announcement of the final list of candidates and the
voting members of the Council tomorrow. H Metro
