HARARE – Zimbabwe Cricket (ZC) has been suspended with immediate effect by the Sports and Recreation Commission (SRC), the governing organisation of all registered sporting associations in the country.
ZC acting managing director Givemore Makoni has also been suspended from his position, according to a press release on Friday.
The SRC move comes a week after it issued a directive that ZC’s electoral process be suspended following alleged complaints about the nomination process and the violation of constitution, as well as “various other controversies”.
But the cricket board ignored the directive, and Mukuhlani was re-elected for another four-year term following the meeting. The SRC said it was forced to act after several complaints of violations of the constitution and other controversies.
“It cannot be in national interest that a national sporting association continues to conduct itself in a manner that suggests that it and its officials are a law unto themselves,” the statement said.
The controversies over the running of the game also played its part.
The release added that an interim committee has been formed to run the sport in the country.
