Gweru referees Kusosa, Rumeck retained on FIFA panel as Ruzive, others bite the dust
Top Zimbabwean football referees headlined by Ruzive Ruzive will not be officiating in international matches next season after they were dropped from the Fifa panel following assessments by the Referees Committee.
Midlands based Wirimai Muroiwa and Manicaland assistant referee Luckson Mhara, while Gweru referee Nelson Kusosa — one of the best referees in the country — were retained on the Fifa panel alongside Edgar Rumeck, also from Gweru, Solani Ncube and Brighton Nyika, both from Bulawayo.
The assessments -done at the end of each season with those who perform well either getting promoted or retained with those deemed to have failed to attain a set standard demoted, have, however, been criticized in some quarters as biased and riddled with nepotism.

New Midlands-based radio station hits hard times
All is not well with the Midlands' first commercial radio station Ya FM which is reportedly struggling to pay staff and buy equipment for use by disgruntled employees.
Speaking on condition of anonymity, an employee on Thursday revealed morale was at its lowest at the station, which went on air only less than two months ago.
Despite the
hype that followed the September 25 launch of a radio station servicing
the small mining town of Zvishavane and its surroundings, it has emerged
that poor working conditions have taken centre stage with staff using
plastic chairs in an almost empty newsroom.

Gweru City Council cuts salaries by 54 percent
The commission running the affairs of Gweru City Council has cut the local authority's salary expenditure by about 54 percent. Commissioner Mark Choga, who is the chairperson of finance, said they had managed to reduce the salary outlay from 86 percent to 31,9 percent since taking over the running of the cash-strapped local authority three months ago.
Choga said it was the government's directive that local authorities should cut salaries and allowances to not more than 30 percent of revenue collected and allocate at least 70 percent to service delivery. Gweru's wage bill stood at about $888,000 per month, which was about 72 percent of its monthly income.
The local authority has a 1,300-strong workforce.
