Isaiah Mupfurutsa secured the Premier Soccer League chairmanship after defeating Masimba Chihowa by a 10-8 margin during voting in Harare. The BancABC international banking head and Simba Bhora chairman will replace outgoing CAPS United president Farai Jere for a four-year term. His victory grants him automatic membership on the ZIFA board alongside his league leadership duties. Mupfurutsa guided Simba Bhora to their maiden Premier League championship in 2024, just two seasons after promotion. The banker began his football administration career with Dynamos in 2018.
The new chairman pledges to maintain effective existing structures while addressing identified weaknesses through decisive action. Mupfurutsa emphasizes unity as the foundation for all future developments within the league. His administration plans to expand the sponsorship portfolio beyond the current primary backer, Delta Beverages. The leader advocates for calm collaboration among stakeholders to eliminate distractions from football matters. Highlanders received an unopposed election as vice-chair during the same proceedings.
