MORGEN Dube, the Highlanders executive secretary, is seeking a position on the Zimbabwe Football Association (Zifa) board, bringing his wealth of experience and expertise to the table as he aims to contribute to the development of Zimbabwean football.
As he bids to join the Zifa board, Dube has unveiled his manifesto, outlining his vision for the local game.
Dube’s manifesto is centred on five key pillars: football representation, technical expertise, international administration standards, team balance, and organisational skills, as well as inclusivity.
He believes that these pillars are crucial in rebuilding trust and fostering a sense of unity within the Zimbabwean football community.
“Football representation is critical in ensuring that the voices of all stakeholders are heard and represented at the highest level,” Dube said.
“My technical expertise, honed through my experience as a player, coach, and administrator, will be invaluable in driving Zifa’s technical development programmes.”
Dube’s commitment to international administration standards is also noteworthy.
He believes that aligning Zifa’s governance structures and practices with global best practices will help Zimbabwean football to remain competitive on the regional and international stages.
Team balance and organisational skills are also critical components of Dube’s manifesto.
He believes that his experience in managing teams and organisations will be essential in ensuring that Zifa’s various departments and programmes are working in harmony to achieve the association’s strategic objectives.
Ultimately, Dube’s commitment to inclusiveness is true to his vision for a more unified and representative Zifa.
By promoting inclusivity and diversity, Dube aims to create a Zifa that is truly representative of the Zimbabwean football community.
With his attributes of administrative experience and passion for the game, Dube could be a good candidate for the Zifa board.
As he seeks to join the Zifa board, Dube is confident that his vision for Zimbabwean football will resonate well with the football community.
Dube’s football background is rooted in his playing days at A’Zambezi in Victoria Falls, before an injury forced him into early retirement.
He transitioned into coaching at just 22 years old. Dube’s administrative experience includes serving as Zifa Southern Region vice-chairman in 2010-14 and acting chairman.
Dube’s association with Highlanders dates back to his youth, when he formed close bonds with the late Adam Ndlovu and Barry Daka.
