According to ZBC, Rushwaya was picked up by officers from the Anti-Corruption Commission in Zimbabwe on allegations of corruption, bribery and match fixing.

She was singled out as the chief architect of Asiagate, the biggest crisis ever to hit Zimbabwe football, in which national team players and coaches were allegedly paid to lose matches in Vietnam, Thailand and Malaysia between 2007 and 2009 by predetermined scores, earning millions in betting.

This was supposed to be the first step. : Arresting the Mastermind.- Jail sentence.

@soso-wait until Sepp Blatter talk,they're going to banned for life,bribery is a serious crime not only in football,take cricket for instance,people were sent to do time in jail for such,

@WELE some idiots don't have manners. They are jeolous of The Ironduke and admistrative intelligence,the man is untouchable and they just accept it,since Buyile Gcubule was relagated to do Grade Z games things are back to normal,NO BROWN ENVELOPES,just saying.

Is this not the same lady who was ***ually abusing players to the extend that Benjani & Peter Ndlovu had to eventually exchange blows? I think it serves her right, the kickbacks she got from selling games was the very money she used to buy *** from the players.
Why is it that african women seem to easily get drunk with power, it is either they devorce their husbands or they start running behind ***ually active boys. Shame on these so called caring mothers!!!

Sad day for Zimbabwean football. If only our anti-corruption agencies had guts to investigate the finances of SAFA and PSL as of the tenure of Molefi Olifant.

I mean, we are probably, the only country in football where self-same owners of teams are also heads and Exec members of governance. In turn, they award themselves huge bonuses while there is no minimum wage in soccer and some players are reported to earn a paultry 9000K.

Ntate Morewa (may his R.I.P) was the unfortunate scape goat. Die julle SAFA and PSL Exec is tainted met corruption.

And to those are going to insult me because their idol chairmans occupy these seats so be it. Just go and look at the state of the Transnet School Excellence ko Ellasfontein and tell me is it justifiable for these people to be milking millions while development is non-existant.

Posting this as a soccer loving South African and not bias to any team.

I saw it coming; as I have said the three(Sweswe, Msheki, and the Captain) will be the next to be arrest for underperforming.

Ndaa: 2012-02-03 09:20

I suspect government is more involved in the running of soccer in ZIM, pls FIFA intervene

At Long Last,but i cautiously will save my best for last.This woman may look ugly but she is smart & has made friends in higher positions,At some point the late vice president Joseph Msipa was reportedly bedding her & its been said he used his influence to put her in that position at Zifa.Benjani came out tops after a fist fight with the Zim great Footballer,aka Peter Ndlovu over this supposedly chicky bedhopper.She even sourced some funds for the broke Zifa & Benjani was the provider!My point is,for now the lady seems in deep ****!But all along she has people with influence & she will soon walk free.Otherwise the current Zifa President is the right person for the job & he is cleaning up the game,Otherwise she should be looked & throw away the keys.

Taking nothing away from Guinea, but i think Botswaana FA should also investigate the 6-1 drubbing. I smell a rat.Cant loose 2-1 and 1-0 to Mali and Ghana respectively and loose 6-1 against Gui...whooooooo????
