The day of reckoning for Zimbabwe football is nigh, but sadly, the future of the country’s number one sport lies in the hands of a handful of people — Zifa councillors.

Many a football lover is convinced this group of people is responsible for the mess that has bedevilled our football and their decision to revoke the mandate of the Cuthbert Dube-led executive gave the game another chance.

They come under the spotlight, once again ahead of the Zifa election set for Harare this weekend.

Standardsport takes a peek at the men who have been accused of voting for the wrong people in the past.

Having made grievous mistakes in the past, giving the nation unclean Zifa boardrooms, will the councillors continue to bungle or have they learnt their lesson?

Let us wait and see.
