ZIFA President Phillip Chiyangwa Says No To Free Live Broadcasting

ZIFA President Phillip Chiyangwa has outlawed free broadcast of international matches in Zimbabwe in attempts to promote ZIFA.

Chiyangwa told reporters in Johannesburg South Africa that images and sounds from all future international matches in Zimbabwe will have paid for. “The days of free transmission either for live or delayed purposes, for our football matches are over and that message has to be heard loud and clear”, he said.

Chiyangwa said as ZIFA they have the right to ensure that only broadcasters who pay will be allowed to bring cameras or microphones to the stadiums.

“We have a product and it comes with a certain fee and those who want to broadcast our product either on radio or television, be it for live or delayed purposes will have to negotiate with us for a fee that we feel is right one for our product.”
