Alois Bunjira, a former player for Jomo Cosmos and other top clubs in South Africa, has announced his candidacy for a position within the Zimbabwe Football Association (ZIFA). The ZIFA Executive Committee elections are set for January 25, 2025, with nominations now open.
Bunjira, who has played for teams such as Bidvest Wits, Mamelodi Sundowns, and Free State Stars, revealed his plans via social media.
In a post on Facebook, he shared that he had completed the necessary paperwork, including obtaining police clearance, and would submit his nomination soon. He expressed his desire for change in Zimbabwean football, calling for “fresh ideas” and a revitalization of the sport in the country.
This is not the first time the 48-year-old former midfielder has expressed interest in football administration.
However, he faced some criticism earlier this year for publicly commenting on a controversial tackle involving his son, Junior Bunjira, in a local football match.
