SRC endorses bans for former ZRU president Losson Mutongwiza

Abuse of office and financial misconduct have cost two Zimbabwe Rugby Union officials their places in the sport for the foreseeable future.

Losson Mutongwiza's four-year ban

• The Sports and Recreation Commission endorsed the ban on former ZRU president Losson Mutongwiza.
• A four-year prohibition from all rugby-related activities is what he's now sitting with.
• Abuse of office and violations of the ZRU constitution were among the findings against him.
• Financial mismanagement and breach of good corporate governance rounded out the charges.

Regina Mwanandiwa's misconduct findings

• Former Women's Chairperson Regina Mwanandiwa was found guilty on multiple counts.
• Demanding the return of the sponsored kit and threatening to withhold player allowances got her flagged for abuse of office.
• Tour funds were handled without transparency, and the Women's Committee Accountant was cut out entirely.
• Mishandling player allowances and failing to uphold financial transparency brought the ZRU into disrepute.

Where the charges came from

• The Lady Sables' treatment during one of their tours is what triggered the entire disciplinary process.
