This follows
the expiry of their second term on May 31.
Prominent
Harare lawyer Mlotshwa and his team were first appointed by then Minister of
Youth, Sport, Arts and Recreation, Kirsty Coventry, on May 31, 2019 to lead the
country’s sports regulatory body. The board included Allen Chiura, Colleen de
Jong, Gail Van Jaarsveldt, Karen Mutasa, Nigel Munyati, and Titus Zvomuya.
Eltah Nengomasha joined as director-general and an ex-officio member.
Coventry later
reaffirmed her confidence in Mlotshwa’s leadership, reappointing the board for
a second three-year term in May 2022, with only Mutasa stepping down during the
tenure.
As they part
ways with the SRC and the broader sporting community, Mlotshwa and his team
leave behind a legacy of reform — not only within the Commission itself but
also in the broader administration of sport across Zimbabwe.
Confirming his
departure to Zimpapers Sports Hub, Mlotshwa said the board members would
continue contributing to sport in their individual capacities, as they had done
prior to their 2019 appointment.
“I can confirm
that my board’s tenure ended on 31st May 2025. We had served our second and
final term as provided for in the SRC Act,” said Mlotshwa.
My board and I
are grateful for having had the chance to serve the nation, and I would like to
think that we made a difference in sport, particularly in improving governance
within the various national sports associations.
The outgoing
SRC board, as was always the case before our appointment, will continue to be
involved in sport in one way or another.
“It’s in our
collective blood,” he said. Herald
